Building on Linux

Notes while I have a go at building the client on windows.

Create virtual machine

I am currently on a windows machine so it is useful to have a virtual machine on which to install. Using Michaels vagrant script seems like a good choice. So:

1. Install virtual box

2. Install vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html)

3. Clone repo (https://github.com/DMSC-Instrument-Data/ecp-dev-envs)

4. cd directory

5. change virtual machine to use

   config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64" config.vm.box_url = "ubuntu/trusty64" #"../../vagrant_ubuntu_minimal/package.box"

6. cd .../ecp-dev-envs\nicos-dev-env

7. vagrant up

8. vagrant ssh from a git bash terminal
