Just like in title. I'm trying to run from artisan

php artisan command:make NameOfCommand

but all I see is

There are no commands defined in the "command" namespace.

Any idea what is this?

As the documentation says (Current version is 5.2 at this moment):

Once your command is finished, you need to register it with Artisan so it will be available for use. This is done within the app/Console/Kernel.php file.

in the Kernel.php file you must add: protected $commands = [ Commands\NameOfCommand::class ];

(ref: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/artisan#registering-commands)
