It depends on the volcano to determine how long it takes to erupt. Mauna Loa in Hawaii erupts almost all of the time and for a long time. While Mt. Saint Helens in Washington hasn't had a huge eruption in almost 30 years.
From the time when a volcano starts having activity for the first time in years, it may take seconds, weeks, or even months before you actually have an eruption.
