  • On the technical side of things, EL:DIABLO provides the information and scripts necessary to set up a [virtual machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine) on a user's computer. For those not familiar, this can be thought of as a computer within a computer. EL:DIABLO relies on [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/), and by extension [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/), to set up this virtual environment. These two pieces of software allow for the easy setup and use of a virtual machine. Thus, two of the files contained within EL:DIABLO are a `Vagrantfile`, which gives instructions to Vagrant on how to setup the virtual machine, and `bootstrap.sh`, which is a [shell script](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_script) that installs the necessary software within the virtual machine.
