wordpress:cli:install

Install the WordPress CLI tool.
$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
$ chmod +x wp-cli.phar
$ sudo mv wp-cli.phar ${dir_to_install}
try on your machine

This command downloads the WP-CLI (WordPress Command Line Interface) phar file from the specified URL, sets execute permissions on it, and moves it to the directory specified by the ${dir_to_install} variable (which should be replaced with the actual path to the desired installation directory). The curl command uses the -O option to save the downloaded file with the same name as the remote file, and the chmod command sets execute permissions on the downloaded file. The sudo command is used to run the mv command with elevated privileges, allowing the downloaded file to be moved to a protected system directory.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
