Description: # mech
        
        I made this because I don't like VirtualBox and I wanted to use vagrant
        with VMWare Fusion but was too cheap to buy the Vagrant plugin.
        
        https://blog.kchung.co/mech-vagrant-with-vmware-integration-for-free/
        
        Usage is pretty straightforward:
        
        ```
        Usage: mech [options] <command> [<args>...]
        
        Options:
            -v, --version                    Print the version and exit.
            -h, --help                       Print this help.
            --debug                          Show debug messages.
        
        Common commands:
            (list|ls)         lists all available boxes
            init              initializes a new Mech environment by creating a Mechfile
            destroy           stops and deletes all traces of the Mech machine
            (up|start)        starts and provisions the Mech environment
            (down|stop|halt)  stops the Mech machine
            suspend           suspends the machine
            pause             pauses the Mech machine
            ssh               connects to machine via SSH
            ssh-config        outputs OpenSSH valid configuration to connect to the machine
            scp               copies files to and from the machine via SCP
            ip                outputs ip of the Mech machine
            box               manages boxes: installation, removal, etc.
            global-status     outputs status Mech environments for this user
            status            outputs status of the Mech machine
            ps                list running processes in Guest OS
            provision         provisions the Mech machine
            reload            restarts Mech machine, loads new Mechfile configuration
            resume            resume a paused/suspended Mech machine
            snapshot          manages snapshots: saving, restoring, etc.
            port              displays information about guest port mappings
            push              deploys code in this environment to a configured destination
        
        For help on any individual command run `mech <command> -h`
        
        Example:
        
        Initializing and using a machine from HashiCorp's Vagrant Cloud:
        
            mech init bento/ubuntu-14.04
            mech up
            mech ssh
        ```
        
        `mech init` can be used to pull a box file which will be installed and
        generate a Mechfile in the current directory. You can also pull boxes
        from Vagrant Cloud with `mech init freebsd/FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE`.
        Barring that, `mech up <name>` can also be used to specify a vmx file
        to start.
        
        # Install
        
        `pip install -U mech`
        
        or for the latest:
        
        `pip install -U git+https://github.com/mechboxes/mech.git`
        
        # Shared Folders
        
        If the box you init was created properly, you will be able to access
        the host's current working directory in `/mnt/hgfs/mech`. If you are
        having trouble try running:
        
        ```bash
        sudo apt-get update
        sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) open-vm-tools
        ```
        
        followed by
        
        ```bash
        sudo vmware-config-tools.pl
        ```
        
        or
        
        ```bash
        vmhgfs-fuse .host:/mech /mnt/hgfs
        ```
