Which command creates my database?

Question

I pulled a clean project from GitHub, and it uses Entity Framework to model the database. I build the project, and would like to see the database.

What commands should I run to actually create it? I thought I could run Update-Database but it not recognized in the Package Manager Console. It uses EF 6, latest version.

What am I missing?

you have to create your database, EF doesnt create it for you, — Arun Prasad E S, Jun 01 '16 at 16:10
inside visual studio you can connect to your database server, using Server Explore, then using that connection string you can use in the EF project — Arun Prasad E S, Jun 01 '16 at 16:17
first run enable-migration and then add-migration initial and after that run the update-database command it will generate database for you — Pankaj Gupta, Jun 01 '16 at 16:18

So, it turns out the EF commands are missing, but are accessable after a restart of Visual Studio, as found here.
