How to rebuild search index using console commands?

posts: 27

I found this page in the documentation (https://doc.tiki.org/Unified+Index), but I am not a programmer and am trying to figure this out. For some reason my upgrade to 14.2 has killed my search function, and now I am getting errors about needing to rebuild my search index. My database is too large and keeps timing out when trying to do it from the admin settings page, so I believe I need to do this from a "command line." My problem is, I'm not sure what this means. Which command line? Do I need to install software to run Linux or some kind of shell? Or is this something I can do from my cpanel?

I tried searching to see if I could find more information but got too many results and all seem to assume some understanding of console commands, which I have none. Any help much appreciated!

Rick,

Thank you for your reply. I have a VPS, and I believe I have SSH access.
