homestead.yaml file missing

I am trying to set up laravel homestead.

But after the following the instructions, still not able to set up.

When I run the bash init.sh from Homestead directory, it is not creating a homestead.yaml file.

I am on a Mac and I can see homestead.yaml is in the src/stubs folder but not in /Homestead folder even though after the running the bash init.sh is providing the success message saying "do you want to overwrite ..yaml" followed by "Homestead initialised". But still I don't see the yaml file in the homestead folder in my Mac.

My question is

  1. Would init.sh copy the yaml file from src/stubs to Homestead folder or not?
  2. Do I need to manually copy it? 3.If I have to copy manually, why its asking to permission to overwrite when I run the init.sh command in the Homestead folder?

I am beginner to coding. So pls let me know if I am looking at the wrong places.

Appreciate your help!

init.sh will place Homestead.yaml in a hidden directory under your home directory /Users/username/.homestead/ not in /Homestead. Now To answer your questions:

  1. Yes, init.sh will copy Homestead.yaml to .homestead directory along with after.sh and aliases.
  2. You can copy it manually but you don't need to as init.sh should do that for you.
  3. Because when you first ran init.sh, it created .homestead directory and placed the Homestead.yaml file in it, but when you run it again, It will find that there's a current Homestead.yaml and asks if it should overwrite it or not.
