I'd like to try this out but is there a way to install it that's as simple as all of the other Linux software I've ever installed before, and doesn't require installing vagrant, installing virtualbox, downloading an ubuntu image, creating a whole VM (which failed) so I can then make a package I can install? I can usually try these things out without making a whole thing of it.

Is there any reason to think that a plain configure/make won't work? I think they're just explaining it via vagrant VM due to the monoculture.

edit: reading the source, I may be totally wrong about this.
