# This installs an auto upgrade mechanism to VirtualBox Guest Adittions
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

# This installs a bridge to NFS for Vagrant on Windows
vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd

# From Laravel Homestead Documentation:
#  - When using NFS, you should consider installing the vagrant-bindfs plug-in. 
#    This plug-in will maintain the correct user / group permissions for files 
#    and directories within the Homestead box.
vagrant plugin install vagrant-bindfs

When the app to be installed is Magento2, use the following install command. Remember to change <your.domain.com> and <db-name> to yours

magento setup:install --base-url=your.domain.com  --db-host=localhost \
--db-user=homestead --db-password=secret --db-name=<db-name>--admin-firstname=Magento \
--admin-lastname=User --admin-email=user@example.com --admin-user=admin \

Remeber to run sudo apt-get install php7.1-mcrypt as Magento 2 requires it
