Composer, Homestead

Question

Ok. I'm following a step by step installation guide to get homestead up and running.

I uninstalled composer, vagrant.

I reinstalled composer and vagrant.

MacBook-Pro-de-Administrador:~ me$ vagrant -v
Vagrant 1.8.1

I installed the box

vagrant box add laravel/homestead

And then I run into this error (which I started with, so that's why I uninstalled and installed)

Changed current directory to /Users/brestrep/.composer
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

My first installation was using the GIT method described on https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/homestead#first-steps - however using this method I wasn't able to get homestead command up. (I couldn't use homestead as a command)

I'm not able to find anything remotely related in Google. Anyone has any clue or can point me into any other direction?

Answer 1

Try uninstalling and start over again. First make sure:

1 - You have virtual box installed. Homestead requires virtual box virtualbox, vmware_fusion, or vmware_workstation to be installed on your machine.

2- Download and install vagrant.

3- Install composer globally in your Operating system.

4- Follow this Homestead installation guide

5- As super user, type in shell:

cd ~

6- Then cd Homestead (this is your laravel homestead). Proceed to configure it.

7- Within this directory, run in shell Vagrant up

You should go fine from here!

Hope it helps.
