Thanks for your help Josh!

I changed the paths in the Homestead.yaml file. I had created a SSH key pair before, but I didn't do it in the Homestead directory. I ran the command again while I was in the Homestead directory and I still got the same error.

Looking at the key generation, it is putting the key into my user folder, not into the Homestead folder:

Colins-Mac-Pro:Homestead Colin$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "myemailaddress"
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/Colin/.ssh/id_rsa):

I tried this:

Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/Colin/.ssh/id_rsa): /Users/Colin/Homestead/.ssh/id_rsa/homestead

and, after inputting the passphrase, got this:

open /Users/Colin/Homestead/.ssh/id_rsa/homestead failed: No such file or directory.

Should I manually create the .ssh and .ssh/id_rsa folders in the Homestead folder?

You shouldn't have to manually create anything for SSH. Once you run this command (doesn't matter where you run it) the key will exist in /Users/Colin/.ssh :

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"

Thanks again. I've moved the keys that were created into the ~/.ssh directory, and renamed them id_rsa and id_rsa.pub.

I think that has solved the one issue (I hope). I don't get the same error as before. No I have a new one.

Now the terminal tells me:

* The host path of the shared folder is missing: /Users/Colin/Code 

Here's the full history:

Colins-Mac-Pro:~ Colin$ cd ~/Homestead
Colins-Mac-Pro:Homestead Colin$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
There are errors in the configuration of this machine. Please fix
the following errors and try again:
vm:
* The host path of the shared folder is missing: /Users/Colin/Code 

Any idea why I don't have this Code directory and where I get it?

This is a shared folder between your Vagrant VM and your Mac. Create a folder Code in /users/Colin, or change the path to an existing folder with your laravel code in Homestead.yaml.

Thanks . Seems to be working now. I appreciate the help!
