# Quick Start Directions # Vagrant Quick Start
This project includes a Vagrantfile that will allow you to build a new firmware for your keyboard very easily without major changes to your primary operating system. This also ensures that when you clone the project and perform a build, you have the exact same environment as anyone else using the Vagrantfile to build. This makes it much easier for people to help you troubleshoot any issues you encounter.

There is a post Vagrant startup hint that will get you off on the right foot, otherwise you can also reference the build documentation below.
