OSX instructions

Extra steps Mac users must take for this tutorial.

In order to complete this tutorial you will need a Linux machine. You can either get a small server from a Cloud Provider (I believe most have free tiers), or you can use a virtual machine.

Here we will use Vagrant and VirtualBox.

Install both these tools, create a new working directory, and fetch the tutorial Vagrantfile:

mkdir lm-tutorial
cd !$
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liquidmetal-dev/flintlock/main/Vagrantfile

Start the machine:

vagrant up

This may take some time. Once the command has completed, SSH into your new virtual machine:

vagrant ssh

You will need complete the rest of the tutorial from within this VM.

Once you are finished with the tutorial, you can delete the VM with vagrant destroy.
