This also ensures that when you clone the project and perform a build, you have the exact same environment as anyone else using the Vagrantfile to build. This makes it much easier for people to help you troubleshoot any issues you encounter. - -## Requirements - -Using the `Vagrantfile` in this repository requires you have [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) as well as a supported provider installed: - -* [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) (Version at least 5.0.12) - * Sold as 'the most accessible platform to use Vagrant' -* [VMware Workstation](https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation) and [Vagrant VMware plugin](https://www.vagrantup.com/vmware) - * The (paid) VMware plugin requires a licensed copy of VMware Workstation/Fusion -* [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) - -Other than having Vagrant, a suitable provider installed and possibly a restart of your computer afterwards, you can simple run a 'vagrant up' anywhere inside the folder where you checked out this project and it will start an environment (either a virtual machine or container) that contains all the tools required to build this project. There is a post Vagrant startup hint that will get you off on the right foot, otherwise you can also reference the build documentation below. - -## Flashing the Firmware - -The "easy" way to flash the firmware is using a tool from your host OS: - -* [QMK Toolbox](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox) (recommended) -* [Teensy Loader](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html) - -If you want to program via the command line you can uncomment the ['modifyvm'] lines in the Vagrantfile to enable the USB passthrough into Linux and then program using the command line tools like dfu-util/dfu-programmer or you can install the Teensy CLI version. - -## Vagrantfile Overview -The development environment is configured to run the QMK Docker image, `qmkfm/qmk_cli`. This not only ensures predictability between systems, it also mirrors the CI environment. - -## FAQ - -### Why am I seeing issues under Virtualbox? -Certain versions of Virtualbox 5 appear to have an incompatibility with the Virtualbox extensions installed in the boxes in this Vagrantfile. If you encounter any issues with the /vagrant mount not succeeding, please upgrade your version of Virtualbox to at least 5.0.12. **Alternately, you can try running the following command:** - -``` -vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest -``` - -### How do I remove an existing environment? -Finished with your environment? From anywhere inside the folder where you checked out this project, Execute: - -``` -vagrant destroy -``` - -### What if I want to use Docker directly? -Want to benefit from the Vagrant workflow without a virtual machine? The Vagrantfile is configured to bypass running a virtual machine, and run the container directly. Execute the following when bringing up the environment to force the use of Docker: -``` -vagrant up --provider=docker -``` - -### How do I access the virtual machine instead of the Docker container? -Execute the following to bypass the `vagrant` user booting directly to the official qmk builder image: - -``` -vagrant ssh -c 'sudo -i' -``` |
