Installation Homestead php Laravel Problems

Question

I am trying to install Homestead Laravel php. I have install and initialised it but having trouble with the 'vagrant up' code in terminal.

This is the error message that I receive in the terminal when inside the homestead folder.

"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/simonayellowright/web/Sites"

---

ip: "192.168.10.10" memory: 2048 cpus: 1 provider: virtualbox

authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

keys: - ~/.ssh/id_rsa

folders: - map: Users/name/web/Sites to: /home/vagrant/Sites

sites: - map: test.app to: /home/vagrant/Sites/test/public

databases: - homestead

variables: - key: APP_ENV value: local

** NOTE ** that I changed the 'name' path from my name for security under folders/map

From other notices on here I understand that the .yaml file is often the problem but I cannot see where I would have an indent issue in my code - see above.

So in that case it must be my PATH. What should I know? What should I look for and do you know the cause of my error?

I am a bit new to php but very new to Laravel. I enjoyed that and think i need this to move onto the next stage. I would appreciate any assistance.

The issue is the path is incorrect, hence the error message:

The host path of the shared folder is missing: Users/simonayellowright/web/Sites

You should have a leading slash:

/Users/simonayellowright/web/Sites
