hi, I am very new to php, laravel and octobercms and am trying to install it. I have laravel installed and now I am trying to do the wizard installation and currently when I try to run install.php in the browser it gives me 'no input specified'. this is my Homestead.yaml file:
box: laravel/homestead-7 ip: "192.168.10.10" memory: 2048 cpus: 1 provider: virtualbox
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
keys:
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
folders:
- map: ~/Homestead/Projects to: /Users/marika/Homestead/Projects
sites:
- map: local.octobercms.com to: /Users/marika/Homestead/Projects/DevelopmentalDesigners
databases:
- homestead
this is what I have in my hosts file:
192.168.10.10 local.octobercms.com
as for my folders file in my and sites paths I did a pwd in terminal so I know they are the right paths as show below:
my files look like this:
and my install.php file looks like this:
<?php include 'install_files/php/boot.php'; ?><!DOCTYPE html>
any help would be appreciated! I am really lost! I have been trying to figure this out for days.

Forgive the not-very-helpful answer but as you are new to php/laravel/october I would suggest swapping VirtualBox out for something easier to get you over the hump and give you a stable local environment.
While there are good reasons to use VirtualBox my feeling is that you just want to get OctoberCMS working locally to see what all the fuss is about. So, instead of hacking away for days, give MAMP a look as the easiest routes to a hassle-free local environment. XAMPP is another similar option.
There is still some configuration to be done from a fresh install of either of these but this applies to getting Laravel working, rather than OctoberCMS, so there's a ton of help already out there. A quick search revealed this blog post and StackOverflow post which should get you most of the way there. Using the free version of MAMP you'll need to set your hosts file manually which can be done like so.
After that, you should be golden!
