http://administrator.frozennode.com/docs/installation

A ready-to-use model config file for the Job model (jobs.php) is provided in the src/config/administrator directory of the package, which you can copy into the app/config/administrator directory (or whatever you set as the model_config_path in the administrator config file).

php artisan db:seed --class="Fbf\LaravelJobs\JobsTableFakeSeeder"
