Run php artisan command in out of laravel project

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?

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

  1. Use the Spatie laravel-migrate-fresh package (be sure to read before use)
    • This would be suitable for a fresh install process
  2. Use a shell script for your build
    • You can easily incorporate a shell script to run your migrations
  3. Roll your own installer using Symfony's console
    • Vivek Kumar Bansal provides a good article on his Blog to do just this
  4. Create a standalone installer using Laravel
    • This can contain your migrations and other commands (with input if you like)
  5. 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');
