2.8.4.2.5. 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.

Using Artisan

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 possible only 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 information you need:

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

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