How to run rethinkDB on Windows

Vagrant will be used to create an Ubuntu virtual machine. RethinkDB will be installed on this virtual machine. Ports will be forwarded so that it looks like rethinkDB is installed on your local machine. You can access rethinkDB web UI on localhost:9090. gulp integrate should work out of the box.

1. Make sure you have VirtualBox and Vagrant installed
2. Run vagrant up inside wafflecone/vagrant/. (Note: the first time you run vagrant up it will take some time to download the ubuntu image. After that subsequent vagrant commands should be fast)
3. Optional: to stop the virtual machine run vagrant halt. To start the virtual machine from scratch, run vagrant destroy. See vagrant help for more options

Note: Running on Windows also requires Python 2.7 for Windows. If you encounter any issues with the bcrypt module, there is a helpful Stack Overflow post here.
