Check access to server and WP-CLI version

SSH into remote server

ssh user@yoursite.com

Check for WP-CLI

wp --info

If it prints information than you are good to go, otherwise check how to access your server remotely and if you can add WP-CLI to it.

Download

Go to your server’s document root and download wordpress

wp core download

Next, create a database — instructions will vary based on your host platform.

Configuration

Make sure you have the following

• Database name
• Database user with full access to the database
• Password of the user with full access to the database
• Your host… probably just localhost

wp config create \
  --dbname=cpanel_dbname \
  --dbuser=cpanel_user \
  --dbpass='password' \
  --dbhost=localhost

Fix any errors you might have and move on to installation.

Installation

Finally, run the installation

wp core install \
--url="https://example.com" \
--title="My Site" \
--admin_user="admin" \
--admin_password="SuperPassword@55!" \
--admin_email="user@example.com"

WordPress is now live and you can access it by login into the admin.
