From 0d85ab2062bcb652ff3dda9cff94e4fef76fa012 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Abbott Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 12:01:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] README: Clean up Mac installation instructions for Virtualbox/Vagrant. * Removes the hardcoding of an old version of Virtualbox (and doesn't specify the version to avoid getting stale again over time). * Flips around the langauge to assume you don't have Vagrant already. * Makes clear that the first-time installation is a lot slower than future runs will be.
