`Laminas\Console` is a component to design and implement console applications in PHP.

> ### Deprecated
>
> [](#deprecated)
>
> Both the laminas-console and the [laminas-mvc-console](https://docs.laminas.dev/laminas-mvc-console/)components will likely not be maintained long-term, as there are more complete implementations available elsewhere. We strongly urge developers to start migrating their console tooling to use other libraries, such as [symfony/console](https://github.com/symfony/console).
