Drupal VM is built to integrate with every developer's workflow. Many guides for using Drupal VM for common development tasks are available on the [Drupal VM documentation site](http://docs.drupalvm.com).

## System Requirements

Drupal VM runs on almost any modern computer that can run VirtualBox and Vagrant, however for the best out-of-the-box experience, it's recommended you have a computer with at least:

- Intel Core i5, i7 or better processor
- At least 4 GB RAM (higher is better)
- An SSD (for greater speed with synced folders)

If you have an older processor or a processor without VT-x virtualization support (e.g. the i3), you can still use Drupal VM, but you will need to switch the `vagrant_box` in `config.yml` to use a 3rd party 32-bit box, like `ubuntu/trusty32` or `hashicorp/precise32`.

## Other Notes

- To shut down the virtual machine, enter `vagrant halt` in the Terminal in the same folder that has the `Vagrantfile`. To destroy it completely (if you want to save a little disk space, or want to rebuild it from scratch with `vagrant up` again), type in `vagrant destroy`.
