APP MAINTAINERS DEVBOX

Introduction

This project automates the setup of a development environment for Ruby on Rails development. It also includes numerous other web development tools to help node.js and meteor projects.

The VirtualBox version is publicly accessible on the VagrantCloud as DevBox. If you just need a box, start here.

This tool is made by the App Maintainers team and uses Chef and Vagrant to automate the process.
