I'm working through the Hello World tutorial and it's time for me to enter the "$ php bin/magento setup:upgrade" command for the reason mentioned in the tutorial but I get the error: "Could not open input file: bin/magento" and when I try to navigate to the Magento dir in bin it doesn't exist.
Help please? What am I doing wrong?
the first error seems to say, that the bash can't find php.
edit: like versedi stated in the comments, the first error is raised because you copied the $ sign into the command.
also you just have to run bin/magento setup:upgrade
If you run cd bin first, it it ./magento. The . points to the current directory. Otherwise, it searches for the magento command in your executable paths, which you can see by executing echo $PATH.
Eventually, you have to give it execute permissions first. You can do this by running chmod +x bin/magento
Found the solution.
I have my magento site as , htdocs\magento2
php C:\xampp\htdocs\magento2\bin\magento setup:static-content:deploy
php C:\xampp\htdocs\magento2\bin\magento indexer:reindex
Use full directory path instead of short path. It solved my problem.
I faced this issue on windows and solved it by this command instead:
php bin\\magento setup:static-content:deploy
I doubled the \ to \\
I faced this issue on my local setup when I was missing file named 'magento' under bin directory of Magento root.
After copying the file to this location issue resolved.
