Solution 1:[1]

A console application is an application that uses the installed PHP of the Command Line Interface (CLI) instead of a web server.

Functions of the console application can be called via the yii script by inputting 'php yii' in a terminal inside of the folder where the yii script is installed. (By default this is in the root of your project)

These console application scripts can be run manually by a developer, for example through an SSH connection to the server where your Yii application is installed. Another commonly used method to execute these console application scripts is by putting them in a cronjob. More information on Yii2 console applications can be found here.
