Thanks for the link!

you need to be located into your homestead directory when you run vagrant up

homestead is your vagrant box

Thanks for your answer.

I actually had an error. The Laravel course is rather dated, and with the new updates in the docs, following the videos steps wasn't enough. There was one or two steps left out, which I found by simply following the docs as opposed to the videos.

I'm up and running now.

Thanks again.

no worries, glad you are all set

Lansana Camara: Could you post your solution? What are those steps that were left out? Thank you.

P.S. I ran "bash init.sh" from Homestead directory as per docs and it looks like everything is working now...
