Mean.js in a vagrant?

[haluvibe]

Love the Mean.js project. I did however have a lot of problems getting it setup on a vagrant box.

I wanted to request that you have on your website the possibility to download a fully configured vagrant file and a set of clear, instructions on installing pre-requisites and how to get to the part of your tutorial where you first use the 'grunt' command.

I trust this would save alot of frustration for people like me who are using the meanjs as a starting point to learn MEAN development.

Hey @haluvibe seems like a quick github search will give you what you're looking for:
https://github.com/ratchetcc/vagrant-meanjs and https://github.com/aaroca/vagrant-meanjs which both are very simple to run and straightforward to understand with regards to pre-requisites.

@roieki I think we can close this.

Why have you closed it? Maybe someone in the community experienced with vagrant & ubuntu & mean would make one.
Both are closed by now, and a quick search gives you no quick straight-to-the-code options unfortunately. Have tried about 4 diffrent MEAN vagrant configs already haven't managed to run them without tweaks

Why not just use the docker image. What's the use case for vagrant now that we have docker? Is Vagrant better for development purposes?

@Larraby also a quick search yields quite a few MEAN based vagrants:
https://github.com/cmoudy/mean-vagrant
https://coderwall.com/p/iv-rfg/instalation-mean-stack-mongodb-express-angular-node-js-on-vagrant

and even a specific MEAN.js one:

Thanks for answer!

In case someone googles this thread and goes with this box:

If you have problems with permissions you have to dig to comments in an article and recreate a .npm folder. I had problems with localhost:3000, but that's probably because of my local machine.

Wish MEAN stack would be as easy and accessible on Windows as PHP with XAMPP one day
