Is that necessary to use WAMP or MAMP while coding with Laravel?

I usually code PHP MySQL using WAMP or MAMP as localhost. And purchased MAMP Pro to enable XDebug, which I heavily relies on while coding. Recently digging into Laravel, I know that using Homestead and Vagrant, they create a virtual environment for developing Laravel apps. So that means you don't need MAMP as localhost? And if not, how can i install and enable Xdebug in that virtual environment? Many thanks

I can't help you with the Debug part while using Homestead & Vagrant as a virtual environment but I can give you detailed instructions on how to install Laravel 4 on a Mac with MAMP PRO, if that helps (with the XDebug issue at least) :)
