vagrant up - errors
Hi! I'm working through your 2014 Learning Web App Development book through self-study. (I have a small side project I'm hoping to implement just for myself.)
I've now reached Chapter 6 and was working through the steps of setting up a virtual machine. However, since it has been a while, my versions are pretty different. I am using the latest versions of Vagrant (2.4.3) and Virtual Box (7.1.6).
I'm hoping for help debugging what is happening when I use the vagrant up command from the directory where I downloaded the node-dev-bootstrap repository following the book's instructions. If needed, I will track down older versions of the software, but I'm hoping that maybe you might be able to help me track down the issue since I am a raw beginner and getting nowhere with google. I'm attaching the error list when I use the command.
If you have more recent recommendations for instructions on getting set up for the first time, I'm open to those too!
Yeah, the book is pretty outdated at this point, and the tooling is probably even more out-of-date. I'm so sorry about this! I've gone back and forth about updating it, but at this point I'm afraid I just don't have the time.
I would strongly recommend giving Docker a try instead of Vagrant. And since you're in Windows, it might be worthwhile to give WSL a go, too, instead of MINGW64.
Getting a node environment up and running in Docker is fairly straightforward, much easier than back in the Vagrant days. Let me know if you have trouble with that.
