+## Vagrant Server
+
+frab can more easily be tested by using vagrant. First install the
+vagrant gem:
+
+    gem install vagrant
+
+Afterwards setup your virtualbox machine, install chef inside and
+let vagrant run the frab chef recipes.
+Simply run the following command directly inside the frab checkout
+directory:
+
+    vagrant up
+
+
+Sometimes vagrant runs into timing problems, reload the vm:
+
+    vagrant reload
+
+And you can always re-deploy

+You can now ssh into the box and start the rails app
+
+    vagrant ssh
