I am trying to install the latest version of Laravel Homestead on my PC and when I try running the command homestead init in my command terminal, I keep getting a "Could not open input file" error.
Steps I've taken so far with installing Laravel Homestead:
1) Created a new directory at C:\Users\Jeff\Desktop\Code
2) Installed Composer
3) Installed VirtualBox and Vagrant Box
4) In 'cmd', ran the command vagrant box add laravel/homestead
5) Copied the Composer files from C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin into my C:\Users\Jeff\Desktop\Code directory.
6) In 'cmd', ran the command composer global require "laravel/homestead=~2.0"
Since I am following the Laravel homestead installation guide the next step is to copy the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory to my PATH so that the homestead command is executable but this is where I get confused.
I have tried a couple of things but they have not worked for me.
In my ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory, I have copied the homestead directory files into my C:\Users\Jeff\Desktop\Code directory but when I try running the command homestead init, I keep getting the error Could not open input file: C:\Users\Jeff\Desktop\Code/../laravel/homestead/homestead
On Windows use homestead.bat init instead of homestead init.
