Need help on fresh install of trellis, bedrock, and sage locally on Mac Catalina

[Leo_Tse]

I spent hours to research and still failed to setup trellis+bedrock+sage locally on my Mac. I’ll just list my setup processes. Maybe there’s something that I missed and you can help to point it out.

1. I have installed the latest Composer, Vagrant, Yarn, Ansible, Python 3, and Virtualbox 6.0 on my Mac Catalina (10.15.2).
2. mkdir sites/example.com && cd example.com
3. git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/roots/trellis.git && rm -rf trellis/.git
4. composer create-project roots/bedrock site

5.  # group_vars/development/wordpress_sites.yml
    wordpress_sites:
      example.com:
        site_hosts:
          - canonical: example.test
        local_path: ../site # path targeting local Bedrock site directory (relative to Ansible root)
        admin_email: admin@example.test
        multisite:
          enabled: false
        ssl:
          enabled: false
        cache:
          enabled: false
   

6.  #  group_vars/development/vault.yml
    vault_wordpress_sites:
      example.com:
        admin_password: root
        env:
          db_password: root
   

7. cd trellis && vagrant up

8. # and then I got this error message:    
   TASK [wordpress-install : Install Dependencies with Composer] ******************
   System info:
   Ansible 2.9.0; Vagrant 2.2.6; Darwin
   Trellis Head

9. example.test appeared on Vituralbox anyways, so I ignored that error and run vagrant ssh
10. and I created an empty composer.json file: cd /srv/www/example.com/current && touch composer.json
11. exit to quit ssh

12. # I then entered 'vagrant provision' and got the follow error:
    TASK [mariadb : Set root user password] ****************************************

13. I opened a new Terminal tab and cd sites/example.com/site/web/app/themes/
14. composer create-project roots/sage mytheme && cd mytheme
15. yarn && yarn start
16. http://localhost:3000 shows 403 Forbidden, but Browsersync UI works on http://localhost:3001

I have no idea why it didn’t install Wordpress onto Virtualbox. Please help!

Alright, I finally figured it out myself… You gotta give Full Disk Access (Preference>Security & Privacy>Privacy) to /sbin/nfsd on MacOS Catalina.
