How can I import Project Files without getting errors?

Hi, I'm having trouble loading project files, i.e. I keep getting

Warning: require(/home/vagrant/Sites/laravel-basics/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/vagrant/Sites/laravel-basics/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17....

Should I update the yaml file in my Homestead folder?
Should I modify the autoload.php file in the Vagrant box? Something else entirely? Please advise.

Also, I'm really enjoying the pace and content of this course.

This warning is what you get if you did not install the Laravel Framework. The example files are just the project files. You will still need to fully install Homestead & Laravel to use those files. If you have done all of this, change directory into the project folder and run this command in your terminal:

composer install

Thanks, Hampton. That worked, and I understand much more clearly what's going on.

Rather than reinstalling the framework each and every time, I can just replace the app, bootstrap, vendor, and public folders, leaving the link between the Vagrant box and local dev in Homestead folder in tact. Good stuff - thanks!
