+# Test-VM for powerlevel9k
+
+In this virtual machine you will find a recent ubuntu with preinstalled ZSH, oh-my-zsh, antigen, prezto and - of course - powerlevel9k. The main use-case is to test the powerlevel9k theme.
+
+## Installation
+
+In order to run this virtual machine, you need [vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) and [VirtualBox](http://www.virtualbox.org/).
+
+## Running
+
+`vagrant` is a quite easy to use command line tool to configure a virtual machine. To fire the machine up, just run `vagrant up`. At the first run, it will install a whole ubuntu. With `vagrant ssh` you can log in into the machine.
+
+## Testing
+
+Once you have SSH'd into the machine, you'll see a plain ZSH. To test the other frameworks, you just have to switch to one of the following users:
+
+  * `vagrant-antigen`
+  * `vagrant-prezto`
+  * `vagrant-omz`
+
+To switch use `sudo -i -H -u <USERNAME>`. `-i` stands for "simulate initial login", `-H` sets the "$HOME" variable to the directory of the user , `-u` for the username. 
+
+All users have `vagrant` as password and are in the /etc/sudoers.
+
+The regular `vagrant` user has a plain ZSH with the powerlevel9k theme.
