cd Homestead
cp Homestead-sample.yaml Homestead.yaml
vagrant box add laravel/Homestead
Add the following aliases to your ~\.bash_profile or ~\.bash_aliases
alias vm='ssh [email protected] -p 2200'
alias vmup="pushd ~/Homestead >/dev/null && bash vmup.sh && popd >/dev/null"
alias vmdown="pushd ~/Homestead >/dev/null && bash vmdown.sh && popd >/dev/null"
alias vmedit="pushd ~/Homestead >/dev/null && bash vmedit.sh && popd >/dev/null"
Change ~/Homestead to your installation path.
Use vmedit to set your shared folders and sites. See original documentation here.
