ASP.NET Core 6 Web API : update database command on deployment

I am new to ASP.NET Core and using Entity Framework 6.
I have created a Web API using MySql. On development, I have executed add migrations and update-database command.
Now, I have published the Web API and I have to deploy it on a server. The server doesn't have development environment. I want to update the production database. How can I do this?`

How to connect to MySql using Entity Framework 6 from an ASP.NET 5 Web API application?

I have a Web API project created in ASP.NET 5 which uses the dnx451 framework. The project uses Entity Framework 6.1.3 and MySql .NET connector (MySql.Data.Entity) version 6.9.7 to connect to a MySql database.
Since there is no web.config, I need to use code based configuration to connect to the database. But I have run up against problems here.
I have a DbConfiguration implementation to handle the configuration. I followed the example mentioned here: http://dan.cx/2015/08/entity-framework-6-mysql-aspnet
However, I get a compilation error at this line:
        var dataSet = (DataSet)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.data");
The error is:
"Using the generic type 'ConfigurationManager' requires 1 type arguments".
Not sure what type argument I should pass in there.
I found it ! Just import "Microsoft.AspNet.Diagnostics.Entity": "7.0.0-rc1-final" in your project.json ;)

LocalDB is just another engine that is used to access a SQL server database file .mdf -- just like SQLExpress. Visual Studio 2012 uses LocalDB by default while Visual Studio 2010 uses SQLExpress. Anyhow, you can just replace the connection string used in the tutorial with your actual database connection string.
