# Rebuild Instantly

Let's assume its time to work on that rails project again. Maybe
its the next day at work, maybe its the next _year_ at work, but
your boss wants you to work on that rails project again. Worried
about dependencies? Rails versions mismatched maybe? Server versions
changed?

Don't worry! We built the development environment for the rails
project with Vagrant! Rebuilding is a snap.

**Note:** If you're following along and haven't already completely
destroyed your virtual environment, please do so by running
`vagrant down` so you can really experience this step of the
getting started guide.

Are you ready for this? Go back to that rails project directory
and issue the following command:

{% highlight bash %}
$ vagrant up
{% endhighlight %}

**That's _it_!** Really! In about 5 minutes or so after Vagrant
completes setting up your environment, it should be exactly as
you remembered it: same server layout, same dependency versions,
no extraneous software, etc.
