You need to install Vagrant and VirtualBox.

After virtual machine(VM) is running run vagrant ssh to connect to it.

Then install dependencies, setup database and run Rails server with:

cd /vagrant
bundle
rake db:setup
rails s -b 0.0.0.0

On another terminal run vagrant ssh and run Redis inside VM with:

redis-server

On another terminal run vagrant ssh and run Sidekiq inside VM with:

cd /vagrant
sidekiq
