This command leverages Laravel Valet -- an open source development environment for Mac + *nix minimalists.
It runs various commands lightning fast, allowing you to spin up a site in your browser immediately after creating it, without any other configuration, all from a single command.
You should also understand how Valet works, especially the portion on Serving Sites.
-
MacOS users should install Homebrew first.
-
Follow the Valet installation instructions on the Laravel documentation to get started.
Note: Linux users should use Valet-linux instead, a fork of the original project that shares most of the same
valet
commands powering thiswp-cli
plugin.
- Confirm your
wp-cli
environment works and meets the minimum version specified below by runningwp cli info
and proceed if the output looks something like:
PHP binary: /usr/bin/php7.0
PHP version: 7.0.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
php.ini used: /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
WP-CLI root dir: phar://wp-cli.phar
WP-CLI vendor dir: phar://wp-cli.phar/vendor
WP_CLI phar path: /home/user/wp-cli-valet-command
WP-CLI packages dir: /home/user/.wp-cli/packages/
WP-CLI global config: /home/user/.wp-cli/config.yml
WP-CLI project config:
WP-CLI version: 1.4.1
Update, if needed, to the latest stable release with wp cli update
.
Installing this package requires WP-CLI v1.3.0 or greater. Update to the latest stable release with wp cli update
.
Once you've done so, you can install this package with:
wp package install git@github.com:aaemnnosttv/wp-cli-valet-command.git
Error: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
The installer halts at the database creation stage because it doesn't have a password for your local MySQL
instance.
Prevent this from happening by appending your wp valet
commands like such: wp valet new site --dbpass=local_root_password
.
At this point, you can:
- Either create a
wp-config.php
file manually, - use
wp config
command to have wp-cli create one for you, or - use
wp valet destroy site
and try running yourwp valet new
command again, this time using the--dbpass
attribute.
As with other wp-cli
commands, you can set default attributes when running wp valet
.
Simply add the appropriate details in ~/.wp-cli/config.yml
:
valet new:
## Uncomment or update the relevant lines when necessary to set your own defaults.
project: wp # or bedrock
# in: # override - defaults to current directory
version: latest
# locale: # use if not English
db: mysql # or sqlite
# dbname: # defaults to wp_name
dbuser: root # or any other local user capable of creating databases (MySQL only)
# dbpass: # enter the appropriate password if necessary (MySQL only)
dbprefix: wp_
admin_user: admin
admin_password: admin
## Boolean options can also be configured, too.
# unsecure: false # set to true to override
# portable: false # set to true to override
The wp valet new
defaults are shown here as an example for clarity.
One simple usage for the config.yml
could look like
valet new:
dbuser: root # or any db creating user
dbpass: password # set yours here
to enable wp valet new site
to spin up a full, live, running local WordPress site in ~3 seconds without any additional parameters.
