ssh into the server and run it. You can also call artisan commands via your code. It really depends on what kind of hosting you have.

How to make a symlink on deployed website
I am new in Laravel, as you know in order to access stored files you should have a symlink from storage/app/public to public/storage. In computer you can just type in command line: php artisan storage:link. But now I have deployed my website on hosting and want to create a symlink. How can I do it?

@Cronix how can I run artisan command via code? I am using 000webhost free hosting. I tried many things but still can't symlink the two folders.

I don't know anything about that hosting company. They might not give you permissions to do it. If artisan doesn't work, you might need to contact them and ask if it's possible on their servers, or if they can do it for you. But it's free hosting, so I kind of doubt it. Most of those things are pretty locked down.
