Using Ruby from the command line with WP-CLI

The following commands are provided for convenience and should only be used if you understand how WP-CLI works. These commands refer to a single WordPress instance and may need to be modified if you are working with a Multisite installation.


How to install Ruby from the command line with WP-CLI

Navigate to the root of your WordPress installation and type the following command:

wp theme install ruby


How to activate Ruby from the command line with WP-CLI

To immediately activate Ruby after WP-CLI downloads the latest version you can use the following command:

wp theme install ruby --activate


How to reinstall Ruby from the command line with WP-CLI

To force a reinstallation of Ruby which overwrites the current plugin without asking for confirmation you can use the following command:

How to update Ruby to the latest version from the command line with WP-CLI

wp theme update ruby


How to delete Ruby from the command line with WP-CLI

Where can you download earlier versions of Ruby?

Whenever possible you should use the latest version of plugins and themes, however if you have recently updated and discovered that you need to install an earlier version you may be able to download other versions of Ruby from the WordPress repository by visiting this link.

Please note that installing earlier versions of a theme or plugin is not generally a recommended course of action for most users and could re-introduce security, stability or other issues in Ruby

About our testing enviroment

Tests were conducted using Apache 2.4.29, PHP 7.2 on Ubuntu 18.04, MySQL 5.7.33 and WordPress 5.9

It is very possible that different versions of PHP such as PHP 8.0, PHP 7.4, or PHP 7.3 could behave differently with Ruby. Different versions of WordPress could implement the features of this plugin in slightly different ways as well.
