[kwlug-disc] Cry for help, Laravel/Vagrant/Homestead

Tue Jul 11 18:15:09 EDT 2017

Laravel is actually a PHP web framework, analogous to Symfony, CakePHP,
...etc.

The dependency thing is because Laravel incorporates several other
components underneath, bundled with it.

I used a product that was built using Laravel briefly last year for a
project that never saw real use due to business reasons, so don't know
enough to help. There was no vagrant or hometead, just Laravel and the app
written in it.

Have you checked out the documentation? It seems pretty extensive in
regards with Laravel/Vagrant/Homestead here:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/homestead

Try that first, maybe it is all you need.
