Devstack Install Instructions

We don't have a Vagrantfile for the DefyVentures fork of Open edX so you'll need to download the official Vagrantfile then specify the birch named release branch.

• General instructions - Installing the Open edX Developer Stack
• Installing specific releases - Named Releases

Once vagrant is up, configure the git repo to point to DefyVentures/edx-platform and switch to defy/master branch.

Edit the guest /etc/hosts so it can reach the lcms running on host:

learn.defy.org 10.0.2.2

Defy specific edX config is stored in /edx/app/edxapp/defy.env.json.
