Homestead per-project install fails (PHP version)
Attempting to get Laravel 5.6 running on a sandboxed Homestead environment. My local php version is 7.0.20 and Laravel 5.6 requires at least 7.1.3. I can't run "composer require laravel/homestead" because it fails due to the php version. I updated my composer.json to require php version 7.0.* and ran composer update. It is still failing when attempting to require laravel/framework.
Is there an obvious solution that I am missing? Thank in advance for any input.

laravel/framework v5.6.14 requires php ^7.1.3 -> your PHP version (7.0.27) does not satisfy that requirement.

please remove php 7.0
sudo apt-get purge php7.0 php7.0-common
sudo shutdown -r now
then tell Apache to use PHP7.2 now PHP 7.0 is not being used. enable the PHP mod!
a2enmod php7.2
service apache2 restart
php 7.2 installation
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl php7.2-xml php7.2-zip php7.2-gd php7.2-mysql php7.2-mbstring
sudo shutdown -r now
check php version
php -v
