How to create a mysql db with Laravel -

i'm using laravel 5.2. i've setup first migrations , want run them. video tutorial doesn't explain how create mysql db. know can manually in phpmyadmin there laravel way it?

this install migrations table:

php artisan migrate:install 

is there similar command create db?

i'm thinking process should be:

php artisan db:install (or similar command) 

install migrations table:

php artisan migrate:install 

run migrations:

php artisan migrate 

and rollback migrations:

php artisan migrate:rollback 

nothing provided out of box make own command you:

php artisan make:console createdatabase // note, in 5.3 make:command 

then in app/console/commands you'll find createdatabase.php. open sucker , let's make few changes:

protected $name = "make:database"; 

then down below in file need new function:

protected function getarguments() {     return [         ['name', inputargument::required, 'the name of database'],     ]; } 

then we'll make function called fire() called upon invocation of command:

public function fire() {     db::getconnection()->statement('create database :schema', ['schema' => $this->argument('name')]); }  

and can this:

php artisan make:database newdb 

now you'll newdb database created based on connection configuration.

edit forgot important part - need tell app\console\commands\kernel.php new comand, make sure add protected $commands[] array.

protected $commands = [     ///...,     app\console\commands\createdatabase::class ];
