- # How to install a new WordPress site from scratch using WP-CLI.
- # We are going to assume that you have installed WP-CLI with all of the needed dependencies (composer, mysql, php) and added them to the global system/user path.
- # Commands that you need to use in the CLI are marked with a ">" at the start of the row (you don't need to add that to the command).
- # Create a new empty directory in your /www path. You can do that from the CLI directly. We are going to do a local install using WAMP software stack.
- # Either go to the /www directory through explorer and create a new folder or use the following command in the CLI (you have to change your current directory to '/wamp/www' first).
- > mkdir wordpress
- # Change the current directory to the newly created one.
- > cd wordpress
- # Use WP-CLI to download the WordPress core.
- > wp core download
- Downloading WordPress 4.5.2 (en_US)...
- Success: WordPress downloaded.
- # Next, you have to create the wp-config.php file.
- > wp core config --prompt
- # This will prompt you for the parameters needed to setup the file.
- # You have to fill in only the first two parameters for a local install (assuming the root password is blank - the default WAMP uses for MySQL).
- # You can skip the next 9 prompts for the local install.

- # Next, we need to create the database for the local WordPress install. This will create a database named wordpress. Based on the name you gave it at the previous step.
- > wp db create
- Success: Database created.
- # Now we'll install WordPress locally. You'll have to fill in the details for the installation.
- > wp core install --prompt
- # The CLI will prompt you for the next parameters needed to setup the WordPress site.
