Firstly, you have to register your key generator command, put this Lumen Key Generator Commands to app/Console/Commands/KeyGenerateCommand.php. To make this command available in artisan, change app\Console\Kernel.php:

/**
 * The Artisan commands provided by your application.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $commands = [
    'App\Console\Commands\KeyGenerateCommand',
];

After that, configure your application so that Illuminate\Config\Repository instance has app.key value. To do this, change bootstrap/app.php:

configure('app');

After that, copy your .env.example file to .env:

cp .env.example .env

Ignore this step if you already use .env file.

Enjoy you key:generate command via:

php artisan key:generate
