This video is from the old version of our course:
Build a Backend REST API with Python
0h05m
To build our REST API we are going to use Vagrant, VirtualBox, Atom, Python, Git, Django and Django REST Framework. In this lesson I explain how these will work together to create our REST API.

In this lesson I show you how to install all of the applications required for this course.
I demonstrate using Windows, however, all of the applications required are available for Mac and Linux.
If you already have these tools installed or you know how to install them yourself then feel free to skip this lesson.
Just make sure you have Vagrant, VirtualBox, Atom, Git-SCM and ModHeader (a chrome extension) installed. You can find the links to each one in the resources.
IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING VAGRANT
The latest Vagrant 2.0 is not compatible with the latest VirtualBox 5.2 (as of 2017-10-25). There is an open bug on the Vagrant GitHub (https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/9090) and hopefully Hashicorp resolve this soon.
In the mean time, the best course of action is to download VirtualBox 5.1 from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds
(Thank you James for pointing this out)

In this lesson I'll show you how to create a README file for our project and initialise a new Git repository. I'll also show you how to make our first Git commit (something we'll be doing lots of throughout the course).
Update: The official GitHub Python .gitignore file is missing `.vagrant` from the list of ignored files. I've since updated this link to point to an extended version of the original Python.gitignore file which includes this extra item as well as `.sqlite3`. This makes Git ignore the temporary vagrant files and database which would typically be excluded from the git repository. (Thanks Keith for pointing this out!).

Here I will show you how to start and connect to our development server.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
If you get the "No usable default provider could be found for your system." when running vagrant up, read this:
This is because the latest Vagrant 2.0 is not compatible with the latest VirtualBox 5.2 (as of 2017-10-25). There is an open bug on the Vagrant GitHub (https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/9090) and hopefully Hashicorp resolve this soon.
In the mean time, you can resolve this by uninstalling VirtualBox and downloading VirtualBox 5.1 from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds
