How to install Laravel s Artisan

Question

I want to create migrations in Laravel but I need the Artisan CLI. The php command works fine and I'm on Windows. I type in php artisan or php artisan list and I get the following error:

Could not open input file: artisan

. How can I install Artisan?

Hello @kartik,

Artisan comes with Laravel by default, if your php command works fine, then the only thing you need to do is to navigate to the project's root folder. The root folder is the parent folder of the app folder. For example:

cd c:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\your-project-name

Now the php artisan list command should work fine, because PHP runs the file called artisan in the project's folder.

Hope this help!!

Thank you!!
