Setup wordpress using wp-cli

Setup mysql user

Here's how to create a mysql user that can add and modify databases in mysql.

GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO devuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'devpass';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO devuser@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Setup default config file for wp-cli

~/.wp-cli/config.yml

core install:
  admin_user: devuser
  admin_password: devpass
  admin_email: dev@email.com
  title: WordPress Development
core config:
  dbuser: devuser
  dbpass: devpass
  dbhost: localhost
  extra-php: |
        define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
        define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT',true );
        $table_prefix = 'glm_';

Download Wordpress

mkdir ~/sites/wordpress
cd ~/sites/wordpress
wp core download

Configure WordPress Installation

Note I had to manually create the mysql database before this step

wp core config --dbname=my-database-name

Create the Database

wp db create

Create the wordpress database tables

wp core install --url=testwp.localhost

Start php server

wp server --host=wordpress.dev

You'll have to add wordpress.dev or whatever you set the host to in your /etc/hosts file.

127.0.0.1 wordpress.dev

Once you do that you'll be able to goto http://wordpress.dev:8080

I was able to setup permalinks using Post name
