How to generate models/middlewares/etc without artisan

So I'm trying to build an API with Lumen for the first time and figured I should start with a middleware to check if a user is currently logged in (though I'm not totally sure on how to do some of that, a topic for another thread I think). I tried to go to the command line and enter php artisan make:middleware as written in the documentation, but I just get 'make:migration not defined'. php artisan list shows that only make:migration is included with Lumen, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to setup middlewares or models, and it's equally frustrating that the documentation says to use artisan, but artisan doesn't ship with the commands...
