wp package <command>

Lists, installs, and removes WP-CLI packages.

In this article

Unless overridden, these commands run on the before_wp_load hook, just before the WP load process begins. WP-CLI packages are community-maintained projects built on WP-CLI. They can contain WP-CLI commands, but they can also just extend WP-CLI in some way. Learn how to create your own command from the Commands Cookbook
