Vagrant Drupal Development requires Virtualbox and Vagrant, if you don't have these installed, follow the steps below. We're going to set up a Drupal 8 environment. This allows you to use all of your local development tools, while keeping all the server configuration in the VM! Getting started One of the best things about the VDD module is that it shares a directory on your local machine with the virtual machine (VM) you use to run Drupal. There is an issue open for upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, although 2017 is a ways off. Version 12.04 was released in 2012 and has maintenance support until 2017. VDD uses Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin, a Linux distribution, as a base. The VDD module uses Chef, a configuration management tool that helps automate your infrastructure, and Virtualbox server virtualization software. This can get you up and running quickly, without knowing anything about server administration. Why use it? It provides a standard hosting setup for developing with Drupal. Vagrant Drupal Development (VDD) is a ready-to-use development environment contained in a virtual machine.

Warning - To use VDD with Drupal 8 you need to use the 8.x-1.x-dev version until a new release is created (after September 10, 2015).
