 [Setup a development environment](deployment), typically by using a 
 remote server dedicated to this project or by using a virtual machine. 
+Here's a short example:

+```
+# Clone the project, then move into the right directory
+$ cd ~/FrameworkBenchmarks/deployment/vagrant-development
+# Turn on the VM. Takes at least 20 minutes
+$ vagrant up
+# Enter the VM, then run a test

 Then enable Travis-CI on your project fork, so that any commits you send
 to Github are automatically verified for correctness (e.g. meeting all 
 [benchmark requirements](http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=code)).
