There is a great walkthrough for installing Homestead on the Laravel site http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/homestead

The TeamTreehouse people do a great job but the tutorial is a bit outdted. A great resource for Laravel 5 is Laracasts at https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-5-fundamentals

After cloning the homestead directory with the command git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git Homestead, run bash init.sh command from the Homestead directory to create the Homestead.yaml configuration file. The Homestead.yaml file will be placed in your ~/.homestead directory.

Edit the Homestead.yaml file in your ~/.homestead directory in your text editor.

vagrant up command should execute correctly.
