Create the directory you want to have your virtual machine in. Mines here:
~/vms/python-tests
Change a line in the Vagrantfile in your local copy of this repo:
config.vm.synced_folder "/Users/ee/PyCharmProjects/python-api", "/home/python-api"
So that this "/Users/ee/PyCharmProjects/python-api" is pointing to your python-api directory for the plotly/python-api repo on your local (host) machine. This is going to get shared with the guest (vagrant) machine.
cd into the directory you created in "Step 1" and run:
vagrant up
ssh into the new VM you just created when that finishes
vagrant ssh
source the setup script provided (don't just chmod/run!)
source /vagrant/setup
wait... this might take a little bit, it needs to install a bunch of stuff when this finishes, you'll have a nice pyenv setup ready and waiting for you. to see what versions of python exist run:
pyenv versions
you switch between versions by exporting changes to the PYENV_VERSION variable like so:
export PYENV_VERSION=3.4.1
you're done! note that plotly's not installed yet, you'll need to either pip install yourself, or, if you want to make sure everything worked... (a good idea) source the test script!
source /vagrant/test
run:
cat test_log.txt
make sure that there aren't any errors!
