Prompt Script to Install WordPress.

[owaisahmed5300]

it would be greatly appreciated if the wp-cli bundle could include this script. It streamlines the process of installing and downloading WordPress, making it much faster and easier.

The script automates the installation of WordPress in the current working directory by downloading WordPress core, prompting the user to enter necessary installation details, updating the wp-config.php file, creating the MySQL database and user, and finally installing WordPress. Additionally, the script generates default values for the user to accept or modify for the installation details. These details include the MySQL username and password, database host, database name, table prefix, site URL, site title, admin username and password, and admin email.

If there is any further room for improvement, we would be happy to work on enhancing the script. The primary goal is to simplify the process of WordPress downloading and installation, making it possible with a single command.

wp-install sh file

# Define the installation directory as the current working directory
INSTALL_DIR=$(pwd)
DIR_NAME=$(basename "$PWD")
DOMAIN_NAME=$(echo "$DIR_NAME" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | tr -cd '[:alnum:]-')
DOMAIN_NAME="$DOMAIN_NAME.com"

# Download WordPress core
wp core download

# Prompt the user to enter necessary installation details
echo "WordPress installation:"
read -p "Enter your MySQL username (default: root): " DB_USER
DB_USER=${DB_USER:-root}
read -p "Enter your MySQL password: " DB_PASS
read -p "Enter your database host (default: localhost): " DB_HOST
DB_HOST=${DB_HOST:-localhost}
read -p "Enter your database name (default: ${DIR_NAME//-/_}): " DB_NAME

SITE_TITLE=${SITE_TITLE:-$(echo "$DIR_NAME" | tr '-' ' ' | tr '_' ' ' | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)sub(/./,toupper(substr($i,1,1)),$i)}1')}

ADMIN_USER=${ADMIN_USER:-admin}

Thanks for the suggestion, @owaisahmed5300 !

Feel free to share your script on this existing issue: wp-cli/ideas#19

If/when we ever implement this, we'll want to do so as a WP-CLI command.
