The prerequisite to install the plugin through the wp-cli, to make it available in the general database plugins – https://pl.wordpress.org/plugins/. Actions do the same for each plug. In this tutorial we will install the plug contact forms 7:

Update WordPress and plugins!
Step 1. Go to the directory with the installation of WordPress, for example:
1 | cd /home/admin/domains/serwerweb.pl/public_html |
Step 2. Check the version of WordPress in this catalog.
1 | wp core version |
Check for update:
1 | wp core check-update |
If you already know the update is, start it:
1 | wp core update |
2. See a list of plugins:
1 | wp plugin list |
The result will be a table with a list of plugins and information if there are any updates in the form of:
at:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | +--------------------+----------+--------+---------+ | name | status | update | version | +--------------------+----------+--------+---------+ | akismet | inactive | none | 3.1.11 | | hello | inactive | none | 1.6 | | wp-multibyte-patch | inactive | none | 2.7 | +--------------------+----------+--------+---------+ |
I recommend immediately update all:
1 | wp plugin update --all |
Of course, you can update only selected plug, for example.:
1 | wp plugin update akismet |
3. At the end of the translation update:
1 | wp core language update |
