Run php artisan command in out of laravel project

Question

I am writing an installer for laravel project.
but for some reason, I don't run this installer from laravel project.
I use PHP code. I want to use php artisan migrate on my installer and I know that I can use this command system("php artisan migrate") but I don't want to use system functions on my installer. Is there any way to artisan command on PHP out of laravel?

You can execute Artisan commands programmatically but not sure you could use it for what you want to do: laravel.com/docs/5.6/… — AntoineB

I believe they mean to say their installer is not using Laravel and they also do not wish to use system calls from PHP as part of the process. — cherrysoft

Unfortunately artisan is baked into the Laravel Framework so your options are limited but you still have options.

Use the Spatie laravel-migrate-fresh package (be sure to read before use)
- This would be suitable for a fresh install process
Use a shell script for your build
- You can easily incorporate a shell script to run your migrations
Roll your own installer using Symfony's console
- Vivek Kumar Bansal provides a good article on his Blog to do just this
Create a standalone installer using Laravel
- This can contain your migrations and other commands (with input if you like)
Nuno Maduros Laravel Zero could actually be perfect for you!
- It has migrations built in

You can use php's exec() function.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

exec('php artisan migrate');

How is this any different to running system("php artisan migrate") which the OP is trying to avoid?.
