Rather than installing lots of software on your computer for testing different libraries and coding environments, virtual machines can be a good way to keep your host machine tidy.

Things

• Create virtual machine using Ubuntu Multipass
  • multipass launch -n [INSTANCE_NAME]
• Set local domain names to the virtual machine
  • In /etc/hosts file add
    • VM.IP.ADDR.ESS madeup-local-domain
• Install WordPress on the virtual machine

Troubleshooting

• Ensure that multipassd has FullDiskAccess in Mac OSX System Settings
