==============================================================================
Some helpful hints for working with gluten:

 * If you are familiar with vagrant, you need to know that we create a link
   from /vagrant to ~/gluten. If you are NOT familiar with vagrant, you
   create our VM, log into it, and then access the code like this:

    $ vagrant up
    $ vagrant ssh
    $ cd gluten

 * READ the README.md file!!! You need to supply a test.config file before
   you can really test things out.

 * You can use your favorite code editor and version control application in
   the host operating system - you can just use this little login to test,
   start, or stop the application.

 * First things first: log in and set up the test environment

   $ vagrant ssh
   $ cd gluten
   $ ./setup.sh

 * To run the test servers in the background (keeps you from running with
   "real" AWS services) :

   $ vagrant ssh
   $ cd gluten
   $ test/local_test_services.sh

 * To run the server in development mode:

    $ vagrant ssh
    $ cd gluten
    $ ./local.sh

 * To run unit tests:

    $ vagrant ssh
    $ cd gluten
    $ ./run_tests.sh

 * Connect to gluten from your host operating system at:

    http://127.0.0.1:5000/
