> $ homestead ssh

6.  This will create a new SSH session and log us in to the running Homestead 

VM instance. We can now run a Composer command to create a brand new 

Laravel project as follows:

$ cd /home/vagrant/Code/furbook.com

$ composer create-project laravel/laravel . --prefer-dist

This will create a new Laravel skeleton project, as well as download all of the 

libraries that make up the Laravel framework.

Summary

In this chapter, we have begun working with the command line. We've installed 

Composer and looked at how a dependency manager such as Composer aids 

development by utilizing prebuilt packages in our projects (of which the Laravel 

framework is one). We've looked at the concept of virtual machines for developing 

in, and taken a look and installed the official Laravel VM: Homestead.

The next chapter is where the fun begins! Now that we have a complete development 

environment set up and a fresh Laravel application created, we will go through the 

different steps involved in creating a complete Laravel application.
