Have you tried issuing the command with sudo in front? Ie sudo git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git? The fact that you're getting a "Permission denied" error makes me think that the problem lies in the permissions to write a directory to /usr/bin. Note that you will need to be logged into an account on the local system with administrator privileges and put in your password for that account when prompted.

Hi there! I believe the problem is a typo on your URL. You've supplied "githup", but you meant "github".

This site is not accessible:

https://githup.com/laravel/homestead.git/

But this site is accessible:

https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git/

Note the change of githup to github.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

The "local" account is the account on your computer. The one you are currently using. When you sit down at the computer you generally log in with a username and password. This is the "local account" and it must have administrator privileges. Is your account an administrator? What happens when you try the sudo command?
