Looks good. So, where are you up to now? I'd suggest marking this as answered and start a new thread. This one is very unwieldy.

so you should now be able to run

composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"

i did this command Run composer global require "laravel/homestead=~2.0" which ran.

ehm but i dont know what to do next

it installed laravel/homestead

i posted a new threat with same title only 2.0 at the end

$ composer global require "laravel/homestead=~2.0" Changed current directory to /home/nick/.composer ./composer.json has been created Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
