If you are using a Windows environment, you might run into issues with the length of paths when unzipping packages. To avoid this issue, use the --prefer-source flag instead.

After installing, you may need to configure some permissions in order to proceed. Directories within the storage, should be accessible by your web server. If you are using the Homestead virtual machine, these permissions should already be set.
