@Reegan01 on Windows, you could make a batch file called pa.cmd with this in it:

php artisan %*

and keep it in a folder within your system path. Then simply run pa serve or whatever you want and it should work.

You might want to look into using a *nix based dev environment. You can either use Ubuntu on Windows (that's possible with the new Windows 10 version), or a VM-based solution such as Scotch Box.
