Fresh WP install

Use these instructions if you want to create a new WP site with the default empty database.

1. Fire up Vagrant to create the VM and then run the provisioning scripts

   $ vagrant up
   

   • This may take a little while as the provisioning scripts download and install everything
2. Browse to 192.168.50.2 - you should see the default twentyfourteen theme

PHP version

To change the PHP version, edit settings.sh and set the php_version setting to 5.5, 5.6 or 7.0. Run vagrant provision if you're changing an already created vagrant instance
