If you have a mac I recommend to have a look at the boxen project from github.

I did actually look into that, but it kind of did the exact opposite of what I wanted. There's a few reasons I'm not too impressed with Boxen:

- Its goal is to install a whole bunch of binaries and development utilities onto my local machine. I want to keep those segregated.

- It only works with Macs. My only computer at the moment is a mac, but it's not always what I use. I use computers at work that are linux based.

- I found that it was buggy. I wasn't very easy to get it actually working. It required a lot of effort and installation.

So, Boxen isn't for me.
