First let me say thanks to Taylor Otwell, I moved away from PHP to Rails and really was missing PHP only to be pointed to Laravel and have not looked back since. The framework makes my day to day work a pleasure and sometimes I feel guilty how easy it has made getting work done.
And Jeffrey Way for offering an amazing service that helped me to grow in understanding practical programming skills, keeping things simple, best practices and Laravel.
Of course I would like to thank Andrew Cavanagh for taking time to tediously edit this book. We have worked in the industry together for a number of years and currently both working on Laravel daily. And then there is my family who keeps me from getting too out of balanced since it is so easy to lose myself in the joy of building things on the computer!

Chapter 1. Setting Up and Installing Laravel
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
Introduction
In this chapter, we will cover installing and setting up Laravel and Homestead. As I have often said in this book, the online Laravel docs are great, and I will refer to them as needed. This book should be regarded as a complement to the official documentation, expanding on the explanations found there and adding some tips and tricks for everyday use. Also, I will show a number of shortcuts to help speed up your workflow. Finally, I will touch on Gulp and Elixir.
Setting up Homestead
This section will work off the existing Laravel docs to make sure your Homestead is set up correctly, as well as give you some background as to what is going on.
Getting ready
You will need a terminal application, access to the Git command, and decent Internet. As for the terminal on Mac, I suggest iTerm, available at https://www.iterm2.com/; it really is a nice tool for something you are going to use quite often. For Windows, git for Windowshttps://git-for-windows.github.io/ got me going quickly both for git and a Bash such as terminal. Linux has a nice terminal to begin with, and installing git is easy. As far as Vagrant and VirtualBox are concerned, I will link you to the related sites since they do a good job at explaining how to install each of them on your system.
How to do it...
The following are the steps to set up Homestead:
At this point, Vagrant will be ready to use at the command line:
You will not really need to open VirtualBox.
Tip
For Windows users, this link helped me a lot to get started with Homestead: http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/laravel-homestead-on-windows.
On a Mac, this will look like—/Users/alfrednutile/Code.
From here, the online docs do a great job of getting you going on the final Homestead installation and setup—https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/homestead.How it works...
When done, you will have the Homestead.yml configuration information in the ~/.homestead folder to modify as needed. On Mac, this would be /Users/alfrednutile/.homestead/Homestead.yml.
Tip
Laravel Docs talk about shortcuts in the Daily Usage section at https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/homestead#daily-usage.
Also, you should have made a new folder called ~/Code to be the base folder for all your projects. For example, my folder looks like this:
You can have multiple applications within your code folder. In this example, app1 is the root folder for the app1 application, and app2 is the root folder for the app2 code. Keep in mind that the Vagrant box will later on mount this Code folder into the /home/vagrant/Code folder inside the Vagrant client.
Tip
I do my migration and PHPUnit work inside Homestead using the ssh shortcut that the online documents show you. But I do a lot of work outside Homestead inside the Code/app1 directory, such as all the Git commands and much of composer. This creates a much faster workflow for the file intense commands.
There's more...
You can, of course, manually set up your own machine for Nginx, PHP, MySQL, and all the rest, but there are a lot of reasons why the preceding one is best. On a team or alone, having your environment contained like this makes upgrading your machine, going from desktop to laptop, pushing code to production, having up-to-date libraries for new apps and older libraries for legacy apps, and more so much easier.

Setting up your first application in Homestead
In this section, we will download Laravel and set up our local site to use for the rest of our recipes taking advantage of Homestead.
Getting ready
We have Homestead installed. My home folder called ~/Code is where we will be working.
