2.14.2.5. Artisan Utility

The Artisan utility is a console interface for working with the Laravel framework that comes with it and is installed with project creation... This utility simplifies the work with the framework and provides a huge range of possibilities.

The utility and its commands are launched directly from the framework project directory. To use do the following:

1. Connect to hosting via SSH.
2. Change to your project directory by running the command:

   cd ~/example.com/www/

   Instead example.com/www indicate site root directory.

3. By default in the environment SSH the hosting uses PHP 5.6. According to the requirements of the framework, a version of at least 7.3 is required, so override the paths in the variable $PATHby running the command:

   export PATH=/usr/local/php73/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin

4. Run the command to check if Artisan is working:

   php artisan

   • Subsequent command run artisan is only possible from its catalog. If you need to create a command that will be called without the need to go to the directory, then run the following command:

     echo "alias command='/usr/local/php73/bin/php ~/example.com/www/artisan'" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

     Modify the above command based on the data you need:

     • Instead of "command»Specify the desired command name to be used. For example, you can specify the name of the project by type laravel_example.
     • Instead of "example.com/www»Specify site root directory.
   • Test the command by running:

     command -V

     The standard output of this command will be the version of the installed framework.
