Magestead 2.0 is the perfect development toolbox to manage and control your Magento development workflow. A command line utility that will not only get you a custom pre-configured vagrant development environment with the tools you want, but also install the latest version of Magento or Magento 2

### System Requirements

[](#system-requirements)

- VirtualBox 5+
- Vagrant 1.8.1+
- PHP 5.4+ (with mcrypt, intl & xsl extensions) installed
- Composer installed globally
- Mac or Linux (sorry no windows support yet)

**Note**: *For mac users missing the required extensions you could install the latest PHP version for your Mac OS version using .*

To test your PHP installation run the following in your terminal -

`php -ini | grep intl`

You should see something similar -

```
intl
intl.default_locale => no value => no value
intl.error_level => 0 => 0
intl.use_exceptions => 0 => 0


```

`php -ini | grep mcrypt`

You should see something similar -

```
mcrypt
mcrypt support => enabled
mcrypt_filter support => enabled
mcrypt.algorithms_dir => no value => no value
mcrypt.modes_dir => no value => no value

```

#### Optional Requirements

[](#optional-requirements)

- [vagrant-hostsupdater](https://github.com/cogitatio/vagrant-hostsupdater) - *A Vagrant plugin for updating your hosts file automatically with your project URL*
- [vagrant-bindfs](https://github.com/gael-ian/vagrant-bindfs) - \* - A Vagrant plugin to automate bindfs mount in the VM\*

**Note: While these Vagrant plugins are only an optional requirement, they are highly recomended.**

### Installing

[](#installing)

Magestead uses Composer to manage it's dependencies. It is important that you have this installed prior to trying to install Magestead.
