I have recently been trying too hard to actually learn and install Laravel but it's really hard to keep pace with the installation process. I'm currently on Windows 7 and I'm on this stage where I am already to add the vagrant box. It simply says:

vagrant box add laravel/homestead

and it asked what provider I will be working with and I chose "1" which is virtualbox but the download really seemed to get too slow that it just stops and gets errors as it downloads and I've tried for like a week already just trying to work this command. I tried to download the file using the IDM and had the file "virtualbox.box" but I don't know what I'd do with it. And I found that the file was actually too large to handle and to be downloaded continuously.

Someone please help me on how I could proceed on this. As it factually seems, we really have a very slow internet connection to continually download the file. Is there a way to install the manually downloaded file on IDM that I've had? Forgive me for sounding dumb. It's my first time working with PHP Frameworks for a project and I have been stuck installing. Please help.

To install laravel on Homestead VM, there are a few steps you need to follow.

******IMPORTANT STEP********

Make sure that you have windows virtualization turned ON in your BIOS. This will save you a few hours if you are installing it for the first time.

You will also need to install Vagrant and Virtual Box before starting the installation of Homestead.

Make sure you install the correct versions for Windows PC.

The main advantages of using Homestead is that it provides a Linux virtual machine where you can easily install packages. It does comes with a lot of packages installed.
