To get started with intrigue-core using Vagrant, you’ll need to install Vagrant on your machine.

Next, pull down the intrigue-core repository to your local machine with a git clone and jump into the directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/intrigueio/intrigue-core
$ cd intrigue-core

Then use Vagrant to pull down an image, start it and then provision it:

$ vagrant up

Finally, (this is pretty easy, huh?), ssh in, and follow the instructions:

$ vagrant ssh
vagrant$ /core/util/control.sh start

This will start the intrigue-core service, giving you output that looks like the following (shortened for brevity):

Starting PostgreSQL 9.6 database server                                                                                                                                                           [ OK ]

As it starts up, you can see that it generates a unique password. You can  now log in with the username intrigue and the password above at http://localhost:7777 on your host machine!

• URI: http://localhost:7777
• Username: intrigue
• Password: [generated on startup, see above]

Great! Now that we’re started, let’s get up and running with Intrigue-core.
