The zip file for bitshares has a Vagrantfile but no instructions on how to use it,, I think is very simple and I have done it in the past. But having the instructions on the README shouldnt be such a hassle, instead of having the user go to look for it.
https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/Also would be nice to have docker too.
There could be a bitshare-bin, meaning a precompiled version for arch. just like for example telegram-desktop-bin. That allow you to not rely on the current libraries.
