## Notes

Chassis is a virtual server for a WordPress site, built with Vagrant and run on the developer's machine. A project is set up by cloning the Chassis repository with git and starting its virtual machine with `vagrant up`, after which the site is served at a local address. The README states that both subdomain and subdirectory multisite work out of the box. The project's documentation is hosted at docs.chassis.io.

## Worth knowing

The quickstart requires VirtualBox and Vagrant to be installed on macOS, Windows or Linux, so the tool needs those two programs before the virtual machine can start.
