Trying to create a Virtual Box, Vagrant and Laravel set up at home on Windows -HALP.

So I've been having some issues trying to set up a web server environment on my home computer (I have literally no exp doing this) and I was hoping someone might have experience with it.

I try following the steps on the laravel and laravel/homestead sites but when I get to the point where I'm trying to GIT the repository for cloning I get errors telling me git isn't a recognized command.

Does anyone have any experience trying to do this?

You need to install git. Depending on which distro you are running, you can



apt-get install git


on Debian/Ubuntu variants or



yum install git


on Redhat/CentOS.

If you're using something else, google "how to install git <linux flavor>"

Perhaps this is where I'm confused then, the laravel installation page specifically states that it includes all of the necessary software... including ubuntu, git, etc.
