First Time (old)

1. Set up RVM $ curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s 1.15.8

$ rvm reload

1. Clone git repo for ariadne
2. From the ariadne directory use Rake to setup commands.
3. Start VirtualBox, do vagrant up & vagrant ssh
4. Verify you can view the site at http://???.dev
5. At the end logout of your vagrant terminal and do vagrant destroy

Every Time

1. Change into the ariadne directory from the command line (something will automatically run if you've done it right).
2. Login server with vagrant ssh and do required development
3. How is the filesystem/db saved between uses?
4. Access the site using http://??.dev
5. At the end logout of your vagrant terminal and do vagrant destroy
