wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb
dpkg -i erlang-solutions_1.0_all.deb

SCRIPT

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
  config.vm.box = "debian/jessie64"
  config.vm.hostname = 'DEBIAN-JESSIE64'
  config.vm.provision 'shell', inline: $script
end
```

## Instructions

Bring up a Debian Jesse instance using Vagrant, or, use the provisioning script
on a Debian Jesse server of your own. When it is done running, all necessary
package build requirements for either `apt`-based or `rpm`-based distros will
be present. See the [`README.md`](README.md#tldr) document for instructions on
building packages.
