Magento2 Command Not Found – Installed Through Wizard

command linecomposerinstallationmagento-2.0magento2

Was getting lots of issues installing, so installed Magento2 via Softaculous Installer in CPanel. Installed successfully and site & admin is accessible.

NOW, however, wanting to do things via CLI access, but always get "magento: command not found" when trying to run any of the commands.

Few questions having trouble finding answers for:

  1. In order to have access to CLI 'magento' commands, did I have to do the initial installation via composer or CLI to start?
  2. Is there any way to take the fresh working installation instance I have and enable the CLI magento commands without uninstalling and starting over? (Because was having a difficult time getting a stable, successful installation completed through doing CLI or Composer installation) – Although when I did have success a couple of times in the past (before I did something dumb to wack it up beyond my patience for troubleshooting, then deciding to start fresh again…) I DID get access to the Magento commands in CLI, and think they will ultimately prove to be an imperative asset in the future development of this project. :-/

Thanks in advance for any feedback here. Have worked on a couple of projects in Magento 1.*+ in the past, but really want to start this new project off in the new platform.

I do not know if you did actually try to execute it with the php library.

For example my mistake on local OSX:

bin zarun$ magento -bash: magento: command not found

But it is actually supposed to be:

bin zarun$ php magento

Of course take a look at the available commands using the list option:

bin zarun$ php magento list
