Wordpress CLI Installer

Description

A script to install Wordpress completely from the CLI, which makes automation that much easier.

The idea is to have a PHP script that just does what the regular Wordpress installer does, but done through the CLI. However, since using PHP's CLI binary is somewhat awkward, you can instead use the bash shell script which is generated (using update-shell-script.sh) and contains the complete PHP script. Thus you can do something like this:

$ curl -s http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz | tar xzf -
$ wget -q http://goo.gl/OokgX && chmod +x wordpress-cli-installer.sh
# edit wordpress/wp-config.php to change db settings, or add them to the next command
$ ./wordpress-cli-installer.sh -T 'My New Blog' -e 'my-email@example.com' -b 'http://blog.example.com/' wordpress/

Or you can just use bits of the PHP in your own installing script!

Usage

You can use the shell script like so:

Usage: wordpress-cli-installer.sh [-hPv] -b base-url -e email-address [-p admin-password]
    [-T blog-title] [-u admin-user] [--dbuser=database-user] [--dbpass=database-pass]
    [--dbname=database-name] [--dbhost=database-host] path/to/wp/files/

Or you can use the PHP script directly with the same options like this:

$ php -f wordpress-cli-installer.php -- [options] path/to/wp/files/

General Options

-b base-url	Base URL for the blog since wordpress can't detect it from a CLI install, should be a fully qualified URL (ex: http://example.com/) REQUIRED
-e email-address
	Admin user's email address REQUIRED
-h	Display this help text
-p admin-password
	Admin users's password default: randomly generated
-P	Toggle whether the blog is public or not (visible to search engines, etc) default: public (on)
-T blog-title	Set the blog's title, this should probably be short (and quoted) default: Change Me
-u admin-user	Admin user's username default: admin
-l lang	Language of this wordpress blog default: <empty> (en-US)
-v	Verbose flag, enable more output

wp-config Options

These options are only used if wp-config.php isn't found, in which case they are required (except for dbhost which has a default):

--dbuser=database-user
	Database user's username
--dbpass=database-pass
	Database user's password
--dbname=database-name
	Database name
--dbhost=database-host
	Database hostname. Passing host:port or /path/to/socket.sock might also work default: localhost
