Using Vagrant and Puppet to build a PHP/Lamp environment

Vagrant is a real help in creating developer environments and is widely used by many development teams due to its flexibility and ease of replicating environments. In order to get ready with Drupal 8, I wanted to get to know Symfony this is an attempt to do that and hopefully this will help me do just that and help others who stumble upon this site. The steps for creating a development environment is below, I am using a Mac OS X Yosemite, you can use your favourite OS : 1. Install vagrant using vagrantup.com 2. Install a provider I have used VirtualBox. 3. Initialise a Vagrant environment. Vagrant should work form any where on your computer because the installer would have added this to your executable paths, so lets create a new folder called 'vagrant' and run the following command vagrant init hashicorp/precise64 This creates the Vagrantfile which is the main configuration file for vagrant. Open the Vagrantfile in your favourite editor or maybe just vi it. s
