How to Configure Magento 2 Command Line Interface?

If you don't have SSH access or just don't want to use a terminal, you can use Command Line Interface instead to run Magento commands directly from the admin panel.

That's when the Magento 2 Command Line Interface extension comes into play! Since it allows you to execute commands in a few clicks without even typing the commands manually, you really have to try it.

So, let's find out more about what it allows you to do by configuring it.

Configure Command Line Interface

1. Once you install the extension, go to Stores > Configuration > Magefan Extensions > Command Line Interface and enable it.

2. Enter the PHP Command, so you can execute CLI commands even if you have a custom PHP route.

3. Select the Most Used Magento 2 Commands you use the most often to have them at the top of the CLI page.

4. Select the Allowed Commands For Managers.

Note: Here you choose the CLI commands only some admin users will be able to execute.

If you still want to grant your admin users access to CLI, you can choose only certain commands they will be able to run. You choose them in the Allowed Commands for Managers field.

Run CLI Commands

1. Go to System > Tools > Command Line by Magefan and enter Your Password to start running the commands. This field makes CLI usage more secure.

Note: The PHP exeс() function should be enabled.
