+# Vagrant Setup to Test the Pouch
+
+This documentation highlights how to use [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) to setup node to test pouch.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+This was tested on:
+
+- Vagrant 1.9.5
+- VirtualBox 5.1.26
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Clone this repo, change to the `hack/vagrant` directory and let Vagrant do the work.
+
+    $ vagrant up
+    $ vagrant status
+    Current machine states:
+
+    pouch-dev-node            running (virtualbox)
+
+You are now ready to SSH to `pouch-dev-node`, source code of pouch is mounted to /go/src/github.com/alibaba/pouch on `pouch-dev-node`.
+
+    $ vagrant ssh pouch-dev-node
+    vagrant@pouch-dev-node:~$ sudo su
+    root@pouch-dev-node:/home/vagrant# cd /go/src/github.com/alibaba/pouch/
+    root@pouch-dev-node:/go/src/github.com/alibaba/pouch# make && make test
