# Veewee Boxes

This project is for building/maintaining VirtualBoxes using veewee.

## Prerequisites

### VirtualBox

Use an operating system package to install VirtualBox, e.g.

    # apt get install virtualbox

    

### Ruby

You can use the system ruby, but you are better off using rbenv as described 

below. This has been tested with native ruby 1.9.3, jruby 1.7.2, and native 

ruby 2.0.0

#### rbenv

[rbenv](https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv) allows us to manage Ruby 

versions. Install it by following the 

[instructions](https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv#installation).

#### ruby-build

[ruby-build](https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build) is a utility for 

compiling and installing Ruby versions.  It's a plugin for rbenv that help with

installing different versions of ruby, either compiled from source or via other

means, e.g., downloading and unpacking jruby.  Follow the 

[instructions](https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build#installation) to 

install it.

#### Set the version

Once you have installed rbenv and ruby-build, install your desired ruby version.

For example, to use ruby 2.0:

    $ rbenv install 2.0.0-p247

    

Make that the global version:

    $ rbenv global 2.0.0-p247

### Vagrant

You can use an OS package to install Vagrant, but you can get more recent 

releases by installing Vagrant as a gem. Moreover, you will have to use a gem if

you want/need to use different versions of Ruby.

    $ gem install vagrant

    

## Veewee

### Rubygem

You can install veewee as a gem:

    $ gem install veewee

    

However, you might run into the following error:

    $ gem install veewee

 

    ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::DependencyError)

       Unable to resolve dependencies: fog requires net-scp (~> 1.1)

### bundler

Using bundler allows you to manage veewee's dependencies independently from 

other gems. This seems to be the prevailing workaround for the above error.

    $ gem install bundler

    

Then use the supplied Gemfile to install veewee

    $ bundle install

    

To run veewee:

    $ bundle exec veewee

### Usage

Using veewee with bundler is a little... verbose. You can alias veewee:

    $ alias veewee 'bundle exec veewee'

To see what you can do with VirtualBox:

    $ bundle exec veewee vbox help

    

etc.
