== Creating a BMO Development System using VirtualBox and Vagrant ==


Getting Bugzilla, as well as the latest code that is used by [http://bugzilla.mozilla.org bugzilla.mozilla.org], installed and running locally in order to
make changes, fix bugs, etc. is not the easiest thing for every one to do. Especially if you are not familiar with Linux systems, the Perl programming
language, or installing all of the many CPAN module dependencies needed for Bugzilla to work properly. This Developer Box is designed to help people
to be able to get up and running quickly and easily by providing a ready to run Virtual Machine (VM) that should work on most platforms. The VM is built using
Vagrant and VirtualBox which most people should not have difficulty getting installed on Windows, OSX, and Linux.
The VM provided for download comes with a test database already installed that contains most products and other data that would see on BMO it has all of the
bugs themselves removed for size. Also all user account passwords, stored queries, group membership have been removed for obvious reasons. At the end of
this document, I will outline how to obtain a sanitized copy of the BMO database which does contain all 'public' bugs that you can then import into your
VM and be able to do more thorough testing and development on a larger amount of data.
