git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git homestead

cd homestead
# move to a release (see latest: https://github.com/laravel/homestead/releases)

wget -qO- https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dgoguerra/aabc3122d2079b05af4d0201c2e4f9c7/raw/Vagrantfile.diff | git apply

# initialize and edit Homestead.yaml
bash init.sh
nano Homestead.yaml # edit as needed

# start the machine. may take some time to download laravel/homestead box
vagrant up

To run any Vagrant command on your Homestead machine from any directory, add to your Bash profile (~/.bash_profile on OSX, ~/.bashrc on Linux) the following function (or homestead-custom.sh to add some helpers to the homestead command):

function homestead() {
    ( cd ~/code/homestead && vagrant $* )
}

Optional

If you want to start downloading the Homestead box before configuring anything and running vagrant up, run:

vagrant box add laravel/homestead --provider virtualbox
