whats your error ?

this is installion information :
after install VM and vagrant
git discourse clone
cd your cloned discourse location
and type : vagrant up (Its takes some time)

vagrant ssh
bundle install
bundle exec rake db:migrate
bundle exec rails server
and open http://localhost:3000 in your browser

I think i should spend some more time with this.
But your help is really appreciated. Thanks.
