1. Fork this repository. 11 11 It's pretty important you follow these steps exactly.
2. Modify the `Puppetfile` and `modules/` to your heart's content. 12 12 You should not fork this repository for your organization's Boxen.
3. Get a copy of your fork somewhere locally. 13 13 We have some pretty specific semantics about forking and public/private repositories.
4. Install the XCode Command Line Tools package. You need an Apple ID. We know. It sucks. You can thank Apple for not allowing the Command Line Tools to be redistributed publicly. 14 14 We really recommend doing it this way:
5. `cd` to that dir and run `script/boxen` 15 15
6. Ensure you have `[ -f /opt/boxen/env.sh ] && source /opt/boxen/env.sh` in your shell config. If you don't have a shell config yet, we automatically add this to `~/.profile` for you. 16 16 1. Create a new local git repository. Create a private repository on GitHub under your organization for your boxen (eg. `myorg/myorg-boxen`)
7. Open a new shell. 17 17 1. In your new repository, `git remote add upstream https://github.com/boxen/our-boxen && git fetch upstream && git co -b master upstream/master`
8. Verify `boxen --env` prints out `BOXEN_` env vars. 18 18 1. Now follow the directions GitHub gave you when creating your private copy to push the master branch to your private copy.
9. Rock out. :metal: 19 19

You can always check out the number of existing modules we already provide as optional installs under the [boxen organization](https://github.com/boxen). These modules are all tested to be compatible with Boxen. You can include these modules by modifying the Puppetfile, adding them to `manifests/site.pp` if they should be installed on every machine, and then running `boxen`. 44 53 You can always check out the number of existing modules we already provide as optional installs under the [boxen organization](https://github.com/boxen).
