edx-in-a-box
edX-in-a-box is a one-click installer to quickly evaluate edX on your computer. It includes a couple sample courses so you can see examples for how to author your own courses.
Once you download the script and double-click on it, the script will do the following:
* Download and Install Virtualbox (if not already installed)
* Download and Install Vagrant (if not already installed)
* Download the edX .box image file (if not already downloaded)
* Import the edX .box image file into VirtualBox
* Download and install the edx4edx_lite sample course
* Download and install the 18.02SC Multivariable Calculus sample course
* Start the newly installed/configured VM
* Print a message of what to do next, and where to find more docs
Mac users
The script has the extension .tool which on MacOSX makes it clickable as an executable file.
The files will be copied to the ~/mitvm-vagrant directory on your computer, so on a Mac this will be /Users/<username>/mitvm-vagrant
Linux users
Linux users can rename this to edx-installer.sh and run it with bash::
$ mv edx-installer.tool edx-installer.sh
$ chmod +x edx-installer.sh
$ ./edx-installer.sh
