I wanted to try wp-cli, downloaded the phar and installed it by moving it to ~/bin which is in my path. Then wp --info works, but maybe shows insufficient information. (e.g. no php path, though it is running, so php is there ...) Any other actions I tried so far were unsuccessful, alsways resulting in 'no wordpress installation found' Specifying --path or --url didn't change anything. The result is the same for a multisite or non-multisite installation. Any ideas what could be wrong?

PHP binary:
PHP version:    5.3.27
php.ini used:   /usr/local/lib/php.ini
WP-CLI root dir:        phar://wp-cli.phar
WP-CLI global config:
WP-CLI project config:
WP-CLI version: 0.14.0-alpha

(added wp --info output)

  • Are you running your wp commands from a WordPress directory?

  • It would be good to also post the exact error output, when running a normal command, such as wp core version.

If no --path is passed, WP-CLI defaults to the current directory and looks for the wp-includes/version.php file.

So, make sure that the directory you're in has such a file:

$ ls wp-includes
$ cat wp-includes/version.php
$ wp core version

  • Thanks. The issue was that I thought going to/ specifying the base wird would be enough (where index.php is) though /wordpress as the directory with the actual installation had to be specified directly.
