"Vagrant is attempting to interface with the UI" - Homestead setup

Question

I'm attempting to set up a homestead environment but I seem to be falling at the first hurdle.

After installing homestead and running

vagrant box add laravel/homestead

I get the following error

Vagrant is attempting to interface with the UI in a way that requires a TTY. Most actions in Vagrant that require a TTY have configuration switches to disable this requirement. Please do that or run Vagrant with TTY.

I've already seen the article here but this doesn't help with my particular issue. Anyone run into this problem before?

Can you list out the exact steps you followed to install homestead? The homestead box doesn't require any UI actions. — Zarathuztra, Sep 07 '15 at 14:54
I was following a few tutorials and the steps were all the same. 1) Install Virtual Box, 2) Install Vagrant, 3) Run "vagrant box add laravel/homestead — Lee Hitchcock, Sep 07 '15 at 14:56
I don't have one, haven't even got to that bit yet (apologies I hit return to early on the above reply, I've edited it with more info now) — Lee Hitchcock, Sep 07 '15 at 14:58
You'll need one before you can start using homestead. There is a homestead init script in the Homestead repo you checked out. It's worth a try. — Zarathuztra, Sep 07 '15 at 14:59
I just ran "vagrant init" then again tried to run "vagrant box add laravel/homestead" and still have the same issue — Lee Hitchcock, Sep 07 '15 at 15:01
have you run the homstead init.sh script? You need that yaml file — Zarathuztra, Sep 07 '15 at 17:23
I have yes, it's created the yaml file but still getting the same problem with the "vagrant box" command. — Lee Hitchcock, Sep 09 '15 at 10:11

If you run the commands as administrator in cmd.exe it may may avoid the TTY error. That's the only way I was able to make it work.

For whatever reason (possibly the admin reasons as mentioned by txst_gilley) in CMD prompt it wouldn't run.

Having installed MinTTY with the latest version of GIT I tried running the command in there and it works fine!

Thanks for everyone's help.
