Install manual for laravel homestead with virtualbox.box

Question

https://medium.com/@eaimanshoshi/i-am-going-to-write-down-step-by-step-procedure-to-setup-homestead-for-laravel-5-2-17491a423aa

I followed this documentation and its always failing when running this command vagrant box add laravel/homestead

So I decided to install vagrant box manually.

I have this url https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead/versions/0.5.0/providers/virtualbox.box to download vagrant box but I have received 404 Not Found

And this link I followed to manually install virtual box https://gist.github.com/idecardo/deec25b8fa54976edb496d7ce7d320a7

Anyone can help me with this? Where I can find the virtualbox.box to download?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Yes, you can download virtualbox.box from

https://app.vagrantup.com/laravel/boxes/homestead/versions/6.4.0/providers/virtualbox.box

Change the version of homestead box. Current version: 6.4.0.

Check for the latest version here: https://app.vagrantup.com/laravel/boxes/homestead

After downloading the box, rename it to virtualbox.box

Don't forget to include the .box extension.

Add the downloaded homestead box to vagrant:

vagrant box add laravel/homestead /path/to/virtualbox.box

Change the path to where you stored your downloaded homestead box.

Answer 2

Had the same problem.

Running vagrant box add laravel/homestead download slowly and will eventually timeout.

So i manually downloaded it thru this link: laravel homestead

Hope it help.
