No more worrying about messing up your operating system! Vagrant boxes are completely disposable. If something goes wrong, you can destroy and re-create the box in minutes! Homestead runs on any Windows, Mac, or Linux system, and includes the Nginx web server, PHP, MySQL, Postgres, Redis, Memcached, Node, and all of the other goodies you need to develop amazing Laravel applications. Official documentation [is located here](https://laravel.com/docs/homestead). #### Components [](#components) Homestead is made up of 2 different projects. The first is this repo which is the *Homestead application* itself. The application is a wrapper around Vagrant which is an API consumer of a virtualization hypervisor, or provider such as Virtualbox, Hyper-V, VMware, Or Parallels. The second part of Homestead is *Settler*, which is essentially JSON & Bash scripts to turn a minimalistic Ubuntu OS into what we call *Homestead base box*. Homestead and Settler (AKA *Homestead Base / Base Box*) combined give you the Homestead development environment. > When you run `vagrant up` for the first time Vagrant will download the large base box from Vagrant cloud. The base box is the output from Settler. The base box will be stored at `~/.vagrant.d/` and copied to the folder you ran vagrant up command from in a hidden folder named `.vagrant`. This is what allows vagrant to create a VM and destroy it quickly and without having to download the large base box again. ##### Current versions [](#current-versions) Ubuntu LTSSettler VersionHomestead VersionBranchStatus22.0414.x15.x`main`Development/Unstable22.0414.x15.x`release`StableDeveloping Homestead -------------------- [](#developing-homestead) To keep any in-development changes separate from other Homestead installations, create a new project and install Homestead from composer, forcing it to use a git checkout. ``` $ mkdir homestead && \ cd homestead && \ composer require --prefer-source laravel/homestead:dev-main ``` After it's complete, `vendor/laravel/homestead` will be a git checkout and can be used normally. ### Health Score 67 — FairBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance30 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity75 Solid adoption and visibility Community53 Growing community involvement Maturity98 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
