How to Install WP-CLI in Windows 10?

WP-CLI is the WordPress Command line tool. WP CLI helps the user like us to perform WordPress administration tasks and Scaffolding. For more detail of the WP CLI, Please go to the WP CLI handbook.

In this article, I will show how to install the WP CLI in Windows.

• Open the D: drive in the “My PC” explorer.
• Make a new folder wp-cli in the D:/ drive
• Now download the wp-cli.phar from the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
• Move the downloaded wp-cli.phar to the D:/ wp-cli folder.
• Create a file named wp.bat in D:\wp-cli\wp with the following contents:

@ECHO OFF
php "d:/wp-cli/wp-cli.phar" %*

• Then we should set the D:/wp-cli for the path by running following command by the command line. Please note that I have used d:\ in the lower case

setx path "%path%;d:\wp-cli"

• Then run the wp command from anywhere and see the output.
