• Do vagrant up in this folder, you can use the terminal in Unix/OSX or the Windows Command Processor (cmd).

• The provisioned Linux box will begin to configure, load and install all dependencies to run Contiki, this could take a short while. When it finishes, the vagrant build wil be ready and you can access over SSH, the default access information is:
