Add WP CLI globally for all users

whattheserver

If you haven't heard of it the wp cli is amazing for resetting passwords managing plugins updates and so much more.

https://wp-cli.org/
https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/quick-start/

Steps one by one.
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
chmod +x wp-cli.phar
sudo mv wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp
nano /etc/profile.d/add_user_local_bin.sh
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

Oneliner.
wget -O /usr/local/bin/wp https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar; chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wp; touch /etc/profile.d/add_user_local_bin.sh; echo 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin' >> /etc/profile.d/add_user_local_bin.sh;

How it looks.

Then login as a user
su - user

Then you should be able to use wp CLI commands like.

[[email protected]:~/public_html]$ wp core version
5.2.3
[[email protected]:~/public_html]$ wp plugin list

I would also like to add some info to this thread:

Type the following command to see all available users that can log into the system:

[email protected]:~# getent passwd | egrep -v '/s?bin/(nologin|shutdown|sync|halt)' | cut -d: -f1

Usually the last usernames are the users that is automatically created when we add a website.
