Step 1 - Download WordPress The syntax of the command to download WordPress is the following: wp core download [--path=] [--locale=] [--version=] [--skip-content] [--force] $ wp core download --path=wpdemo.test --locale=it_IT Creating directory '/wpdemo.test/'.

The command above creates a wpdemo.test/ folder inside your current working directory and downloads the latest WordPress version. You can replace the --path=wpdemo.test with your desired folder name and the --locale=it_IT with your desired locale. You can omit the --locale option and, that will download by default WordPress in American English using the locale en_US. Step 2 - Generate a config file In this step, we will generate a config file and set up the database credentials for our installation. The basic syntax of the command is the following: wp config create --dbname= --dbuser= [--dbpass=] $ wp config create --dbname=your_db_name_here --dbuser=your_db_user_here --prompt=dbpass 1/10 [--dbpass=]: type_your_password Success: Generated 'wp-config.php' file. The command above generates the wp-config.php file and adds to it the database credentials that you passed. Make sure to replace your_db_name_here with the name you want to assign to the database, replace your_db_user_here with your database user and type the database password when prompted with the following: 1/10 [--dbpass=]: Step 3 - Create the database In this step, we are going to create the database based on the information we passed to the wp-config.php file in step 2. $ wp db create Success: Database created. Now we are ready to move to the final step where we install WordPress. Step 4 - Install WordPress To install WordPress now, we need to run one last command. $ wp core install --url=wpclidemo.dev --title="WP-CLI" --admin_user=wpcli --admin_password=wpcli --admin_email=info@wp-cli.org Success: WordPress installed successfully. Remember to replace the values passed to each of the following options with your details: --url=wpclidemo.dev replace wpclidemo.dev with your website url, --title="WP-CLI" replace WP-CLI with the name you want to assign to the website, --admin_user=wpcli replace wpcli with the username you want to assign to the website administrator --admin_password=wpcli replace wpcli with the password you want to use to access the WordPress administrator panel.
