title: How to create a mysql db with Laravel
body: <p>I'm using Laravel 5.2.  I've setup my first migrations and I want to run them.  From the <a href="https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-5-from-scratch/episodes/7" rel="noreferrer">video tutorial</a> it doesn't explain how to create a mysql db.  I know I can do this manually in phpmyadmin but is there a Laravel way to do it?</p>
  
  <p>This will install the migrations table:</p>
  
  <pre><code>php artisan migrate:install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a similar command that will create the DB?</p>
  
  <p>I'm thinking the process should be:</p>
  
  <pre><code>php artisan DB:install (or similar command)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Install the migrations table:</p>
  
  <pre><code>php artisan migrate:install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Run the migrations:</p>
  
  <pre><code>php artisan migrate
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and to rollback the migrations:</p>
  
  <pre><code>php artisan migrate:rollback
  </code></pre>
