Laravel migrations table not found

Question

I'm trying to recover a project after a failed HDD. Lost the mysql information, so just have the project code. I hoped to be able to put my database back together by using `artisan migrate`, but the error message tells me: ``` database.migrations doesn't exist ``` Is there actually a way I can use my Laravel code files and the command line to rebuilt my database like this? Thanks for the help.

Accepted Answer

The command I needed to run was:

```
php artisan migrate:install
```

(I actually had more problems than this because the mysql install was messed up to. I don't know if simply `php artisan migrate` on its own would have implied :install but I'm adding it as an answer anyway should anyone have similar issues)
