Homestead 2.0 setup

Yes, you have to add it to one of your shell configuration files. Depending on your configuration it could be .bash_profile, .profile, .bashrc...

PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

You will also have to open a new terminal so that the config file is reloaded and the changes are applied.

Hm thnx @otepas but when i restart iterm and try to launch homestead, nothing happen's

Zimos-MacBook-Air:~ sasa$ homestead
-bash: homestead: command not found
Zimos-MacBook-Air:~ sasa$

I found solution in comments:

I figured it out. to all other noobs first type "vi ~/.zshrc" to edit .zshrc file. next press "i" on keyboard to go into insert mode. go to bottom and add the this line "export PATH=/Users/yourusername/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" , next press esc to exit insert mode, type ":w" to save then type ":q" to exit and then make sure you type "source ~/.zshrc" before closing terminal window

@otepas has the right idea...

On mac...do this so you don't always need to specify the path:

sudo nano .bash_profile

Enter your password when prompted, then add this to the last line (CTRL+X, Then "Y", and ENTER to save):

PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

Once back at the terminal screen, COMMAND+N to create a new terminal window. This will reset path, blah blah. In old terminal window, type EXIT, then COMMAND+Q to close it. Continue and work in the new terminal window...

@mikebarwick I have done that and I'm still getting the homestead command not found error. Any ideas?

I followed the steps below and every time I closed the terminal and then open the terminal again never worked..

Figured it out. to all other noobs first type "vi ~/.zshrc" to edit .zshrc file. next press "i" on keyboard to go into insert mode. go to bottom and add the this line "export PATH=/Users/yourusername/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" , next press esc to exit insert mode, type ":w" to save then type ":q" to exit and then make sure you type "source ~/.zshrc" before closing terminal window

Every time you open the terminal you will have to execute "source ~/.zshrc" in order for you to be able to call laravel and homestead .

Thanks sasafister, at least it works... But is there any way to avoid the need to execute "source ~/.zshrc" everytime I open a new terminal and want to call laravel and homestead ?

Cannot init homestead here. Seems it's buggy when using a space in your username on Windows... :(

$ homestead.bat init

@chuckc ~/.zshrc will be used whenever a zsh shell is opened. You need not source that file unless you have made changes.

@Keilnoth Generally programs won't like spaces in usernames on windows. You should start your own thread rather than hijacking this one.

@gwp So it's not normal that I have to type "source ~/.zshrc" everytime I open a new terminal ?

@chuckc No.. are you sure you need to?

Yes I'm sure :/... I just checked again

iMac:~ chuckc$ homestead
-bash: homestead: command not found
iMac:~ chuckc$ source ~/.zshrc
iMac:~ chuckc$ homestead
Laravel Homestead version 2.1.6

EDIT: Ok, I'm a f*cking noob. I was doing it with the simple bash shell that comes with osx. I installed zsh and put the line again on .zshrc, it's ok now.
