Make it very easy to setup a complete development stack (MySQL, PHP, NodeJS, etc) in a matter of minutes.

• VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.com
• Vagrant http://www.vagrantup.com
• vagrant-hostmanager vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager

Download Vagrantfile to project_name_dir and up server

$ cd project_name_dir
$ wget http://ilyar.github.io/localserver/Vagrantfile
$ vagrant up

The project is available at http://project_name_dir.local/

Note:

$ vagrant suspend # suspends the machine
$ vagrant halt # stops the vagrant machine
$ vagrant destroy -f # stops and deletes all traces of the vagrant machine

And like any other vagrant file you have SSH access with:

$ vagrant ssh

also can run once command:

$ ssh vagrant@localserver composer update

The web root is located in the project directory and you can install your files there.
