Preparatory work

• VirtualBox virtual machines, base dependent
• Vagrant A virtualized Environment deployment tool based on VirtualBox or VMware, you can package a virtual machine (referred to as VBox) to others.
• Homestead Laravel Official VBox, integrated environment, and a set of specially crafted command-line tools.
• Xshell This is a Windows SSH & Shell tool, similar to the SECURECRT, putty and so on.

Installing VirtualBox

This installation is relatively simple, Baidu a bit, download installation can.

Installing vagrant

To https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html download, the speed is a bit slow, endure it. The installation process is equally silly and skipped.

After the installation, reboot, and then open cmd, the vagrant --version command should take effect.

Download Homestead VBox

by command

vagrant box add laravel/homestead https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead

can automatically download Homestead VBox, but the domestic network you understand, turtle speed.

Recommend yourself to have VPS for classmates, on the VPS through

wget -O homestead.box https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead/versions/0.2.6/providers/virtualbox.box

Download it manually, then download it locally from the VPS, or try the Thunderbolt download. Anyway, find a way to download the box file and add it to vagrant with the following command

vagrant box add ./homestead.box

./homestead.boxis the path of the box file, I here is the direct CD to the directory where the file executes the command.

The addition process may allow you to choose VirtualBox or VMware, obviously choosing VirtualBox. Other default.

Installing the Homestead command-line tool

composer global require "laravel/homestead=~2.0"
