Introduction

PhpStorm supports running commands of Zend Framework Tool, Symfony, and other third-party and custom tools. PhpStorm provides completion and parameter info via an XML descriptor.

Note that PHP-specific command line tools work only with local PHP interpreters, see Configuring Local PHP Interpreters and Configuring Remote PHP Interpreters.

Before you start working with Command Line tools, make sure that the Command Line Tool support plugin is enabled. The plugin is bundled with PhpStorm and is activated by default. If the plugin is not activated, enable it on the Plugins page of the Settings / Preferences Dialog as described in Enabling and Disabling Plugins.
