Hello @safaa_alnabhan

Go to the root folder of your Magento project and run the following commands:

sudo chmod 0777 -R bin/magento
sudo rm -rf var/cache var/generation var/di
sudo php bin/magento setup:upgrade
sudo php bin/magento setup:di:compile
sudo php bin/magento cache:clean
sudo chmod 777 -R var/

This is permission related issue of bin/Magento file.

Hi @safaa_alnabhan

could not open input file: bin/magento

Generally this error comes when your bin/magento file is not accessible from the correct location or I would say from the command line console .

So Could you please confirm that ,  are you running this command from the root directory of magento2 ?

Hello, Actually I don't know what is the root directory
I open cpanel then go to file manager then open public_html folder
.. inside public_html folder I find bin folder then magento file

I tried to run this line
php public_html/bin/magento
but it gives me the same output

Hello @safaa_alnabhan

You have to run these commands where you previously tried to run commands in the terminal panel. (Where you were getting errors.)
