+# Developing for LibreNMS
+
+Developing for LibreNMS has never been easier.
+
+Thanks to [Wes Kennedy](https://twitter.com/liveanarchist), there is
+now a vagrant file that will allow you to install a virtual machine
+that has LibreNMS already running on it!
+
+To get started, you can just copy the script from `/contrib/dev_init`,
+or you can enter the following commands into your shell:
+
+```
+mkdir -p dev/librenms && cd $_
+curl -O http://wkennedy.co/uploads/librenms/Vagrantfile
+curl -O http://wkennedy.co/uploads/librenms/bootstrap.sh
+chmod +x bootstrap.sh
+vagrant up
+```
+
+This may take a few minutes and requires you to already have Vagrant
+installed.  If you don't have Vagrant installed, it's easy to setup.
+See the [installation instructions here](http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/installation/).
