question:

2. What should I do next? There's no explanation on how to do it on Windows, so I'm not sure.

Answer 1

After the download is completed!

1. Clone from github corresponding https://github.com/laravel/ho...

2. Enter the directory and execute init.sh or init.bat

3. At this time, the Homestead.yaml file in the .homestead directory will be generated in the user directory of your computer

4. Make corresponding configuration according to what you want to buy.

5. In the homestead folder generated by your clone, execute vagrant up to start it!
