4. connect to virtualbox through vagrant by typing 'vagrant ssh' from the command line
5. change to the shared folder where you cloned the repository by typing 'cd /foldername' where 'foldername' is the directory of the cloned repository

Open the PostgreSQL database client and import database schema

6. from the commandline type 'psql'
7. setup the database by typing \i tournament.sql
8. exit psql by typing \q

Run the unit tests
