Install Vagrant https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
Install VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Add vagrant and VBoxManage to your PATH.
This is most likely already done by the installation binaries. It's added to the system path.
To test this, type these commands in a terminal:
~$ vagrant --version Vagrant 1.8.1 ~$ VBoxManage --version 5.0.14r105127
You may need to log out and back in for the path modifications to take effect.
On my Jessie installation I had to apply the following patch before I could successfully shut down and reboot the VM.

Check this folder out on your computer somewhere.
svn co https://robotics.mvla.net/svn/frc971/2016/trunk/src/vagrant_dev_vm
Go into the directory and build the VM.
vagrant up
Some errors during the vagrant up process can be addressed by re-provisioning the vagrant box. This is useful if, for example, an apt-get invocation timed out and caused the provisioning process to abort.
vagrant provision
Once build, reboot the VM so it starts the GUI properly.
vagrant reload
You can then log in and open a terminal. The username and password are both user.
Download the code and build it.
git clone https://USERNAME@robotics.mvla.net/gerrit/971-Robot-Code cd 971-Robot-Code bazel build //y2016/... -- $(cat NO_BUILD_AMD64)
where USERNAME is the same username you use to log into SVN.
