Vagrant is a great tool to automate creating and configuring lightweight, reproducible, and portable development environments. If you are new to Vagrant you might want to take a look at official documentation to get a basic gist who is it for and why to use it.
- Vagrant depends on Oracle's VirtualBox to create all of its virtual environments.
- Download and install Vagrant
- Make sure you've installed prerequisites
- Open terminal,
cdto working directory and clone the projectgit clone git://github.com/borivojevic/cakephp-vagrant.git - Place application source code into cakephp-vagrant/webroot folder

hostsfile pointing to vagrant box'33.33.33.10 dev.mirkoborivojevic.localhost - Run
vagrant upto start and provision the machine - Run web browser and go to
http://dev.mirkoborivojevic.localhost - To log in to vagrant box execute
