# Install uv if you haven't already
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAI-WPcli.git
cd PraisonAI-WPcli
uv sync

# Run commands
uv run praisonaiwp init

Using pip

pip install praisonaiwp

# Or install from source
git clone https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAI-WPcli.git
cd PraisonAI-WPcli
pip install -e .

Quick Start

1. Initialize Configuration

praisonaiwp init

💡 Pro Tips:

• Use SSH config alias (e.g., wp-prod) - connection details loaded automatically!
• Press Enter for WordPress path - auto-detection will find it for you
• PHP binary is auto-detected, or specify for Plesk: /opt/plesk/php/8.3/bin/php

🔑 SSH Config Support:

PraisonAIWP automatically reads from ~/.ssh/config. If you have multiple hosts configured:

# ~/.ssh/config
Host wp-prod
    HostName production.example.com
    User prod_user
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_prod

Host wp-staging
    HostName staging.example.com
    User staging_user
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_staging

Host wp-dev
    HostName localhost
    User dev_user
    Port 2222
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dev

Just enter the host alias (e.g., wp-prod, wp-staging, or wp-dev) when prompted for hostname, and PraisonAIWP will automatically load all connection details from your SSH config!

Choosing Between Multiple Configs:

• Each host alias is independent

• Use --server flag to specify which server to use:

  praisonaiwp create "Post" --server production
  praisonaiwp create "Post" --server staging
  

• Configure multiple servers in ~/.praisonaiwp/config.yaml:

  servers:
    # Method 1: Using ssh_host (recommended)
    production:
      ssh_host: wp-prod  # Reference SSH config host
      wp_path: /var/www/html
      wp_cli: /usr/local/bin/wp
    
    # Method 2: Direct specification (traditional)
    staging:
      hostname: staging.example.com
      username: staging_user
      key_file: ~/.ssh/id_staging
      port: 22
      wp_path: /var/www/staging
      wp_cli: /usr/local/bin/wp
    
    # Method 3: Mix both (direct values override ssh_host)
    dev:
      ssh_host: wp-dev
      username: custom_user  # Override SSH config username
      wp_path: /var/www/dev
      wp_cli: /usr/local/bin/wp
  

  New in v1.0.5: Use ssh_host to reference SSH config hosts! Connection details (hostname, username, key_file, port) are automatically loaded from ~/.ssh/config. You can also specify connection details directly (traditional method) or mix both approaches - direct values always take precedence.

This will prompt you for:

• Server hostname - Can be IP, hostname, or SSH config alias (e.g., wp-prod)
• SSH username - Auto-loaded from SSH config if using alias
• SSH key path - Auto-loaded from SSH config if using alias
• WordPress path - Press Enter to auto-detect, or specify manually
• PHP binary - Auto-detected, or specify custom path

2. Auto-Install WP-CLI (Optional)

If WP-CLI is not installed on your server:

# Automatically detect OS and install WP-CLI
praisonaiwp install-wp-cli -y

# Install with dependencies (curl, php)
praisonaiwp install-wp-cli --install-deps -y

# Custom installation path
praisonaiwp install-wp-cli --install-path /usr/bin/wp

# For Plesk servers
praisonaiwp install-wp-cli --php-bin /opt/plesk/php/8.3/bin/php -y

Supported Operating Systems:

• ✅ Ubuntu (18.04, 20.04, 22.04, 24.04)
• ✅ Debian (9, 10, 11, 12)
• ✅ CentOS (7, 8, 9)
• ✅ RHEL (7, 8, 9)
• ✅ Fedora (35+)
• ✅ Alpine Linux
• ✅ macOS (with Homebrew)

What it does:

1. Detects your server's operating system
2. Downloads WP-CLI from official source
3. Tests the download
4. Makes it executable
5. Installs to system path
6. Verifies installation
7. Updates your config automatically

3. Auto-Detect WordPress (Optional)

If you don't know your WordPress installation path:

# Find all WordPress installations
praisonaiwp find-wordpress

# Interactive selection from multiple installations
praisonaiwp find-wordpress --interactive

# Find and update config automatically
praisonaiwp find-wordpress --update-config

# Find on different server
praisonaiwp find-wordpress --server staging

Search Strategies:

• Searches for wp-config.php in common directories
• Checks predefined paths (/var/www/html, /var/www/vhosts/*/httpdocs, etc.)
• Verifies each installation (wp-config, wp-content, wp-includes)
• Extracts WordPress version
• Interactive selection for multiple installations

Example Output:

✓ Found 2 WordPress installation(s)
