What are your blockers? Is it about getting a Mediawiki installed on the labs instance or is that already done and it is about wanting to import wikivoyage data ?

Hi all,
I am attempting to set up a Wikivoyage Labs prototyping wiki, see https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Wikivoyage, which is a WMF resource we can avail ourselves of. I got that far by dint of perseverance over the past couple days. But now I'm up against the hard part of cloning an instance of en.Wikivoyage to do prototyping on. I just don't know how to do it.
Does anyone here know how to do this and want to help?
The Wikivoyage Labs prototyping wiki I am trying to create (doesn't exist yet) would be for all wikivoyagers to use for hacking up pages and experimenting. We could install extensions and basically do whatever we want that is for the purpose of experimenting with and developing Wikivoyage's look and features. For example, the Main Page there could be hacked up and processed through the Mobile page creator without messing with our production wiki. The whole wiki would be a sandbox.
I'd like to see experimental instances of all the language versions of WV there.
The experiment I personally have in mind to do first, once we have this set up, is to install the Universal Language Selector extension[1] and see if I can configure it as a way to switch nicely between the various language versions of WV.
My notes to myself about this are on my Labs userpage: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Rogerhc
I'd love your help,
Roger :-)
