Vagrant-rails sets up a virtual machine for rails development, with ruby 2.0 and the latest stable rails.

1. Install vagrant.

2. Clone this repo.

3. Cd to the cloned directory and run vagrant up to initialize the vm and setup rails

4. Open a shell on the VM with vagrant ssh

5. Run rbenv shell 2.0.0-p247 to select the correct ruby version

6. cd to the /vagrant/ directory. It's a special directory mirroring the directory where your vm is stored.

7. run rails new blog to create a basic app

8. cd in your blog directory and run rails s to launch the rails server. Browsing to http://192.168.50.4:3000 should show you the rails welcome page.

It's pretty complicated for a beginner to get started with rails, particularly if you're learning git and unix at the same time. vagrant-rails tries to remove the pain of setting up a base dev environment.
