Prerequisites

Prerequisites

You’ll need to have several items ready to go before proceeding with this lab; these can be done in advance or before starting with the main instructions.

1. Download and install VirtualBox

   • Be sure to download and install both the platform package and the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack (you don’t need to install the SDK)

2. Download and install Vagrant

   • Be sure you can run Vagrant from the command line (try vagrant -v to test)
   • To save time, you can pre-download the Vagrant box used for this lab by running vagrant box add bento/ubuntu-18.04 --provider virtualbox
   • Windows users, you may need to run commands from a terminal created with Administrator privileges
3. Signup for an account with Infura if you don’t already have one
4. Download and install a git client for working with GitHub.
5. Verify you have enough free space on your local drive — about 3 GB should be sufficient.
