This is a configuration for a vagrant machine customized for analytics. The system uses chef Chef recipe installs and configures all the dependencies for IPython Notebooks and R Studio Server.

#Requirements Prior to launching this you should download Vagrant and Virtualbox.

#Launching the Virtual Machine To launch the virtual machine clone the git repository. Then in the repository directory type vagrant up

#Customizing the VM There are a wide variety of recipes used, and you can add or remove as desired. Simply identify the desired package from the Chef Supermarket and it to the Cheffile. You could also create your own custom chef cookbooks to configure the virtual machine however you desire. Then execute the librarian-chef update command to add the cookbook to the /cookbooks path (double check that the associated directory is there). Then add the associated cookbook to the Vagrantfile. Execute the additional change with vagrant provision.
