I’m following this guide to set up a local instance of Discourse using Vagrant:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGRANT.md](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGRANT.md)
It’s working fine, but I don’t see how to give myself admin access.

Thank you. This works perfectly. Is there somewhere I can open an issue about adding this to the guide?

You could submit a PR with a line that explains it.

The Vagrant install is no longer supported. Check out one of the supported developer environments in #howto:devs.
