Although it is said that wp-cli requires UNIX-like environment (OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Cygwin) environment however it is still possible to install in Windows environment. | |
Following are the requirements you should be prepared before begin with wp-cli installation. | |
1. Install Composer | |
Download and install the Composer . It will install the latest Composer version and set up your PATH so that you can just call composer from any directory in your command line. | |
To verify composer installed successfully, try checking its version. for e.g. | |
C:\Users\username>composer -V | |
Composer version 1.0.0 2016-01-10 20:34:53 | |

Let’s say you want to install wp-cli in your d: drive, you just go and place this phar file in a logical path d:\wp-cli\wp-cli.phar . Now create a new batch file wp.bat in the same directory, this will act as an alias for the phar file. Inside wp.bat file paste the following contents and save. | |
@ECHO OFF | |
php "%~dp0wp-cli.phar" %* | |
7. Set environment variable | |
Go to System’s Properties -> click Advanced System Properties -> select the tab labeled Advanced. Click Environment Variables, under the System variables section scroll down to the variable named Path and add ;C:\wp-cli | |
Exit all CMD’s (or git bash) and reopen them. Now go to one of your WordPress installs and type wp core version. You should get the WP version. | |
