500 Error log shows Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'classification' in 'field list'

I decided to try installing Invoice Ninja manually instead of using Softaculous. First error was in laravel.log that accounts table was missing. So I exported the structure from another install’s database and imported it in. Then I read an old forum post (500 Error when trying to login | Issues after update) that suggested enabling escapeshellarg but I don’t recall why I ended up looking for that, maybe it was another error in the log. And finally I saw this error:Call to undefined function Symfony\Component\Console\proc_close() so I enabled proc_close and it started working. Perhaps the self hosted instructions need updating with that?
