Installation

To install, download and install Vagrant for your platform, then download and install VirtualBox.

Once Vagrant and VirtualBox are installed, you can download the latest release of this GitHub repo, and unzip it. cd into the unzipped folder and run:

$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

The username for vagrant is vagrant and the password is vagrant.

This will download and install the image, and then go through the dependencies and install them one by one. vagrant ssh will connect you to the image and give you a bash prompt. Once everything completes, you'll have a working box to build your apps on Android.
