ss install wordpress cli

This command will reinstall WP-CLI from their own mirrors, which means it will always be the latest official stable version. It will install not only the .phar file but also the required configuration files that SlickStack uses to slightly customize WP-CLI for our purposes. There is not a separate command for installing the WP-CLI config, unlike some of our other bash scripts… this is because WP-CLI is a submodule of WordPress, and we don’t want too many scripts which can get confusing. And there’s really no need to separately install the WP-CLI packages and config files… in fact, its better to install them at the same exact time to avoid security issues like unsupported wp commands being temporarily enabled or something like that.

Routine:

  1. runs the ss-install-wordpress-cli script

Aliases:

  • ss install wp cli
  • ss install wp-cli
