This question was asked several times before .. checkout the best answers I found :

• Question 1
• Question 2

The problems behind this error could be :

• Your .env file and config/database.php are incorrect.
• You didn't set the correct unix_socket value in your config file, checkout Question 2.
• You are trying to run the php artisan migrate:install from your local machine. You should SSH into the VM homestead ssh and run your migrations from there, checkout Question 1.
