Vapor migrate command not found

I installed a swift vapor web-server and I have to run some migrations. Reading from the docs(https://docs.vapor.codes/fluent/migration/?h=migrate#migrate) it says that I just have to run vapor run migrate but all I get is an error that says .unknownCommand("migrate", available: ["boot", "serve", "routes"]). It seems the vapor toolbox doesn't have the migrate command. I installed the vapor toolbox following the docs(https://docs.vapor.codes/install/linux/#install-toolbox):

git clone https://github.com/vapor/toolbox.git
cd toolbox
git checkout <desired version>
make install

To be fair i had some problems with the make install comand. It said that swiftc wasn't a valid comand but I just changed swiftc to swift inside the Makefile and it did compile at the end. As a matter of fact the vapor --version command works. I use swift 5.5 and vapor 4. Does anybody now how to fix this or find some workaround like running the migration file by itself without the command?

vapor swift migrate migration

I don't really use the vapor toolbox anymore. I put the second line in main.swift in the Sources/App/Run folder:

// earlier lines omitted
try configure(app)
try app.autoMigrate().wait() // <-- this one needs to be in this position
try app.run()

It needs to be after everything has been configured but before you start the app running.
