HOW TO INSTALL WP-CLI?

WP-CLI is an open-source suite of command-line tools for managing and administering WordPress. Most functions that can be done in the WordPress Dashboard via a web browser can be completed by typing a command at a prompt.

To utilize this feature, TDWS Cloud Server/VPS servers will require WP-CLI to be installed. This can be done with just a few simple commands in SSH.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Connect to your server through SSH.
2. Download wp-cli by running the following command:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar

3. Make wp-cli executable by running:

chmod +x wp-cli.phar

4. This next command will allow us to easily use wp-cli by typing “wp”:

sudo mv wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp

5. That’s it! WP-CLI should now be installed.

To check/update your wp-cli version in the future, you can run:

wp cli update
