Consider installing WordPress with wp-cli

[JedMeister]

I'm not completely sure whether this is a good idea or not, but on reviewing the wp-cli handbook (aka docs) I note that they give an example of downloading and installing WordPress and I thought that it might be a good way to go?

It turns out that wp core install requires that a URL be set. So we'll leverage it for downloading and generating the config file, but we'll still continue to use our custom install script for the final install phase (wp core install requires that a URL be set).

Hey guys, I just ran into this topic and I am TINKERING around with a BUNCH of WP CLI topics right now.
Can you guys tell me WHERE this needs to be configured? I'm still learning, it's early in the process. THANKS

wp-cli is preinstalled in our WordPress appliance. It can be called directly as wp. We also provide a wrapper script, turnkey-wp which runs wp commands as www-data (so doesn't mess up permissions for web UI updates, etc). The wrapper is fairly basic and not extensively tested, but should work fine for most usage. If you hit any issues with it, please share.
