Hi,
I’m new to discourse and i am excited to contribute to the project as a developer. I did everything according the the following blog article ,
> **[Discourse as Your First Rails App](https://blog.discourse.org/2013/04/discourse-as-your-first-rails-app/)**
>
> Update April 4, 2018 The Discourse Vagrant development install is not longer supported and maintained. Current development install guides can be found at meta.discourse.org for Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu.
But i cant find Discourse folder inside the virtual machine . i tried inside /var , /var/www/ . So that i can’t create an admin account

You might have better luck with this guide: [Install Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian for Development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-for-development/14727)
It looks like it is more up to date.

If you’re using the Vagrant setup and you’re inside the virtual machine (`vagrant ssh`), you find your Discourse folder at **`/vagrant`.** See here:
