Store your existing app in a folder named activator-project as a sibling of the one containing the Vagrant files. vagrant up the box and vagrant ssh into it. Now you can cd /activator-project/ and start it via activator run.
You might have to restart vagrant box before running your app the first time, if the activator hangs on installing sbt.
