Install WordPress With WP-CLI
Installing WordPress from the command line with WP-CLI is a breeze. The video walks you through the process outlined below.
ssh -i ~/.ssh/supernifty supernifty@143.198.116.106 RETURN
Change into the public_html directory:
cd /var/www/25monkeys.com/public_html RETURN
Download the latest version of the WordPress software:
wp core download RETURN
Create the wp-config.php file:
wp config create –dbname=’25MonkeysWP’ –dbuser=’25MonkeysWPDBUser’ –dbpass=’f6xtd05%85da#c7cd3#b6^5′ RETURN
Lock down the wp-config.php file:
sudo chmod 600 /var/www/25monkeys.com/public_html/wp-config.php RETURN
Note: If chmod 600 turns out to be too restrictive and causes issues, try chmod 644.
Install WordPress:
wp core install –url=’25monkeys.com’ –title=’25 Monkeys’ –admin_user=’25monkeysWPAdmin’ –admin_password=’n0$3b7Me5a1!2&P%5b’ –admin_email=’hello@25monkeys.com’ RETURN
