I want to give a try, it, looked at: > [@Can't connect client to Vagrant based server on OSX](https://discuss.aerospike.com/t/cant-connect-client-to-vagrant-based-server-on-osx/1325/7): > > Matt, Thanks for reporting this issue. As a workaround you can do the following: Modify your config to publish the localhost IP. Edit /etc/aerospike/aerospike.conf and add the access-address directive in the network service stanza example: network { service { address any port 3000 access-address 127.0.0.1 virtual } but not clear to me. ```auto sudo service aerospike start ``` start the server on the vagrant machine : it works. On which port does it listen? How to make it communicate with applications I am running on my laptop outside vagrant ? tried to modify vagrant configuration file to forward the ports: [http://tech.osteel.me/posts/2015/01/25/how-to-use-vagrant-for-local-web-development.html](http://tech.osteel.me/posts/2015/01/25/how-to-use-vagrant-for-local-web-development.html) config.vm.network :forwarded\_port, guest: 80, host: 2000 #forward port 80 to port 2000 on my local network but did not work. I run: ```auto curl 127.0.0.1:3000 #in my vagrant machine curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer ``` I run: ```auto curl localhost:2000 # in terminal of local machine curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer curl localhost:3000 # in terminal of local machine curl: (7) Failed connect to localhost:3000; Connection refused curl 127.0.0.1:2000 # in terminal of local machine curl: (52) Empty reply from server curl 127.0.0.1:3000 # in terminal of local machine curl: (7) Failed connect to 127.0.0.1:3000; Connection refused ``` Could you please help with step to step instructions? I never used vagrant, I just would like to test AS on mac - would be amazing If I could testing with no need of virtual machines. ---

Here is what I did on a new Mac OSX to get Aerospike server up and running. 1 - Install Vagrant [Install | Vagrant | HashiCorp Developer](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html) MacOSX → vagrant.1.91.1.dmg Open .dmg, click on Vagrant.pkg and install via the popup window it opens. Open a terminal shell. Check if vagrant is installed. > $ which vagrant /usr/local/bin/vagrant 2 - Download and install oracle virtualbox. [Downloads – Oracle VM VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) VirtualBox 5.1.12-11.dmg is downloaded when you click on OS X hosts hyperlink. Open .dmg and double click on VirtualBox.pkg. Follow the installation instructions in the popup window. You can run the VirtualBox application from Applications folder. 3 - Create working directory and Download Aerospike image. > cd ~ $ mkdir aerospike-vm $ cd aerospike-vm/ $ vagrant init aerospike/centos-6.5 A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on `vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant. $vagrant up (Uses VirtualBox as the default box provider. Check startup messages to see which port on Mac is being forwarded to port 3000 that aerospike is listening on.)

If you want your client to be on the Mac, then you will have to install client libraries on Mac and then connect to Aerospike Server on the vm. Here is the prompt after I type vagrant ssh: > [vagrant@localhost ~]$ pwd /home/vagrant [vagrant@localhost ~]$ ls ClientInstall [vagrant@localhost ~]$ ls ClientInstall/ as\_c\_install.sh as\_java\_install.sh as\_nodejs\_install.sh as\_python\_install.sh [vagrant@localhost ~]$ Now you can do whatever modifications you want to the server and install and develop in the clients. When done, > $logout of the ssh and then do $vagrant halt ---

Hi thank you for detailed answer. I am using vagrant hashicorp/precise64 - I tried with centos but had an error. I then installed: `wget -O aerospike.tgz 'http://aerospike.com/download/server/latest/artifact/ubuntu12` ```auto vagrant up [..] default: 80 => 2000 (adapter 1) default: 22 => 2222 (adapter 1) ==> default: Booting VM... ==> default: Waiting for machine to boot.

I tried `./postinstall.sh` but interrupted because was giving errors since I did not have permissions. I tried as root but then postintall.sh was missing (maybe self-removed?) Retried `sudo ./asinstall` Giving errors: ```auto [..] After this operation, 43.3 MB of additional disk space will be used.
