VagrantBox for VirtualBox
Ready-to-go hybrid development environment for building mobile apps with Ionic, Cordova, and Android.
Based on https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-box
Minor adjusts:
- base ubuntu/xenial64
- Node 6 LTS
- Ionic latest version
To install, download and install Vagrant for your platform, then download and install VirtualBox.
Once Vagrant and VirtualBox are installed, you can download the latest release of this GitHub repo, and unzip it. cd into the unzipped folder and run:
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant sshThe username for vagrant is ubuntu. Run your commands using sudo.
Your shared folder is /ionic-projects connected to local folder inside directory of vagrant files.
This will download and install the image, and then go through the dependencies and install them one by one. vagrant ssh will connect you to the image and give you a bash prompt. Once everything completes, you'll have a working box to build your apps on Android.
The image also has support for connected USB Android devices. To test whether devices are connected, you can run (from the box):
$ sudo /home/ubuntu/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb devicesIf that does not work, or shows ????? permissions, then run:
sudo /home/ubuntu/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb kill-server
sudo /home/ubuntu/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb start-server
