Thank you so much tried Udemy tutorial for this failed tried few others failed but your instructions made my day thank you once again

[graspingsand]

Very simple and effective tutorial! Thanks, this helped me a lot!
Shows how TreeHouse courses are worth looking into. If only having a TreeHouse account is cheap... :)

When you clone the git files, the Homstead.yaml is in the folder under the src/stubs.

I would advise copying these files out to the main homestead directory (up 2 folders) because when you run the command "vagrant up", it will only look in the main homstead directory file and not the nested one. Spent ages trying to get this to work!

Thanks for the video! I think I'm almost there now. It was great learning about Git and Sublime, they're nice tools to know about and use :)

Thanks a lot for this video. I'm actually using the latest homestead 1.0.1 and this has a few differences.
Before running "vagrant up" we need to run "bash init.sh" in the git bash.
This will generate all .homestead files in C:\Users\username\.homestead folder.
The Homestead.yaml file is located here.
Everything else worked out perfectly as described in the video.

Trying to install laravel on Windows is probably the worst experience I've ever had concerning learning something new with computer programming. The only reason I'm sticking with this is because I need web app framework experience and everyone keeps saying Laravel is so good. I have attempted to install VM/Vagrant/Homestead/Laravel over a dozen times, running into many different errors each time.

If you even make it through this tutorial, you'll run into more road bumps because the next videos on treehouse jump right back into a Mac environment. Almost like, what's the point?

I've watched Hampton's other PHP videos, and he explains things great. However, between the lack of support from Laracasts, as well as the team treehouse videos, I almost feel like giving up. And I've been at this for a while now, like weeks of trying different methods and using these tutorials and laracasts.

This is just horrible.

I downloaded it with IDM but it downloaded a .tar file not a .box file. what should I do with it?

[AlvenMaretinus]

hope that I could view videos in 1080p in the actual treehouse courses

If you're getting an error with ~/Code not found look in c:/users/<my user>/.homestead (note the . before 'homestead')

[Ramblingroundys]

When I do this, I get all the way to the point where you need to edit the Homestead.yaml....that file is missing

[malex]

Does anybody can help me? In the actual version of vagrantcloud (min 3.54) there is no link for selfhosting and I am no sure which one I should take.
PS: I am new in working with laravel and virtual boxes.

[AugustKamppur]

I appreciate the video and found parts helpful, but please use full paths to show us where stuff is being installed. A `pwd` every now and then in gitbash would save your viewers hours of time.

I cloned the laravel homestead respository, but i could not found the homestead.yaml file

Wheres the next video?? useless tutorial from Treehouse yet again!

Why do have such poor support for windows users?

[sarmenb]

why do you call it lora-vel? its laura-vel

[anticmper]

"as with any windows installer, agree with everything and leave everything in its default location"

NO

For those of you complaining about this not working for you. Please use some intuition:
1. Make sure you spell everything correctly. (e.g. Vagrant NOT VARGANT)
2. Read the source provided on the actual laravel website and stop trying to be spoon fed.
3. You're programmers, if you're struggling to understand something this simple with the clearest video showing you step by step give up programming. I mean it all these hate comments about tree house not being useful is very annoying just because you can't understand the simplest step up ever.
