Installation

Download wpc.phar using wget or curl. For example:

curl -O https://downloads.wp-content.io/wpc-cli/latest/wpc.phar

To be able to type just wpc, instead of php wpc.phar, you need to make the file executable and move it to somewhere in your PATH. For example:

chmod +x wpc.phar
sudo mv wpc.phar /usr/local/bin/wpc

The CLI needs PHP 8.2 or later with the zip extension.

Keep wpc up to date

wpc self-update replaces the installed phar with the latest stable release. The download is verified against its published SHA-256 checksum, and the previous version is kept for rollback.

wpc self-update              # install the latest version
wpc self-update --check      # only report whether an update is available
wpc self-update --major      # also allow a new major version (e.g. 2.x to 3.0)
wpc self-update --rollback   # restore the previous version

self-update never moves backwards, and never crosses a major version on its own: a major release may rename the commands or options a script relies on, so it refuses until you run it with --major. Pre-releases are not published to the update channel; download them from their versioned URL (https://downloads.wp-content.io/wpc-cli/<version>/wpc.phar). When you run wpc in a terminal, it prints a one-line notice on stderr if a newer version exists. The notice is skipped for automation (--output=json, -q, -n, piped output, CI). Set WPC_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1 to disable it.

Use the Docker image

The CLI is also published as a Docker image, with PHP, the zip extension, composer, git and unzip. See Integrate in your CI/CD for the available tags.

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/app -e WPC_API_KEY wpcontent/wpc-cli:latest wpc plugin list
