I decided to roll with a new project that I can build upon as I learn.  My project is a place to store information on client links and network information.

• Create Project :: composer create-project laravel/laravel folder_name
• Add new project url to homestead  :: mate ~/.homestead
  • When updating the Homestead.yaml File, you need to run “homestead up –provision” to reload the Yaml file.
• Add URL to the Local Hosts File  ::  sudo nano /etc/hosts
• Start up Homestead with  :: homestead up
• If new settings where added to homestead, you should use :: homestead up –provision  (so it reloads the new settings from the homestead file.)
• Run composer to update laravel first setup  ::  Composer install
