## Installation
Depending on which OS you are using, the instructions for getting set up with a local installation of the Metamaps software will vary. Because the software has both Node.js components, and RubyOnRails, getting set up with your local copy can take 1 to 2 hours.
If you are on Mac or Ubuntu you can use the following instructions to quickly get a local copy of metamaps up and running using a Vagrant virtualbox. Don't be intimidated, it's easy!
```
git clone git@github.com:metamaps/metamaps_gen002.git
```
Now ensure you have VirtualBox and Vagrant installed on your computer
```
cd metamaps_gen002
./configure.sh
```
This will do all the setup steps to make Metamaps work with a bit of behind the scenes ninja magick.
To start servers which will run metamaps you can then run:
```
./bin/start
```
To stop them:
```
./bin/stop
```
With your webservers running, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:3000
