#VAGRANT UPGRADE UPDATE#

Running vagrant plugin expunge -reinstall fixed it.

I tried the command again and I got a “ Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage: …” apparently due to incompatible versions of plugin dependencies.

I also used the opportunity to also update Virtualbox. In my case, i got an error message that specifies the updated homestead box requires vagrant version >= 1.9.0.

Run vagrant destroy command to destroy the existing Homestead environment.

Still on ~/Homestead If you installed Homestead source code by cloning the git repo, run git pull origin master to update the Homestead source code.īecause master could be unstable, ensure you are on a stable release by checking out the latest version via git checkout v5.1.0 where “5.1.0” is the latest release.

Once the download completed, you will be able to see the latest version by issuing vagrant box list command.Ĭollinss-MacBook-Pro:Homestead collizo4sky$ vagrant box list.=> default: Successfully added box 'laravel/homestead' (v2.0.0) for 'virtualbox'! => default: Adding box 'laravel/homestead' (v2.0.0) for provider: virtualbox => default: Updating 'laravel/homestead' with provider 'virtualbox' from version => default: Checking for updates to 'laravel/homestead' cd into your Homestead directory (typically ~/Homestead) and run vagrant box update command to download the latest version of the Laravel Homestead Vagrant box.Let’s go over the steps in updating Homestead. I have been on version 0.4.4 for a long time and decided it was time to update or better put, to upgrade considering latest version is 2.1.x as at the time of writing and more importantly, to take advantage of latest versions of PHP, MySQL, NodeJS and other toolset.īefore upgrading, ensure you take backup of data that lives in your Homestead virtual machine such as MySQL database. Laravel Homestead has been my local development environment for years after switching from XAMPP.
