Data Science Tool Kit on Vagrant

Pete Warden has released a version of the Data Science Tool Kit on Vagrant. DSTK is a website for munging all sorts of data and includes a geocoder based on TIGER 2010. The website can be unreliable, requiring an occasional restart, so running a VM is a nice option. The vagrant version upgrades the geocoder to TIGER2012 and is a drop in replacement for Google geocoder requests. To run the DSTK locally

Install vagrant from http://www.vagrantup.com/. Create a directory to hold the vagrantfile, then run the following:

	vagrant box add dstk http://static.datasciencetoolkit.org/dstk_0.41.box
	vagrant init dstk
	vagrant up

Go to to http://localhost:8080 to start using the DSTK.
