+# Beginner's Guide
+
+So you've heard about WP-CLI and want to try it out, but you're not sure where to start? This guide is for you. No programming experience required!
+
+This guide is designed to be read from start to finish. Each section builds on the previous one, taking you from opening a terminal for the first time all the way to running your first WP-CLI commands and getting help when you need it.
+
+## What Is the Command Line?
+
+When you use your computer, you normally interact with it by clicking on things — icons, buttons, menus. This is called a **graphical user interface (GUI)**.
+
+The **command line** (also called the terminal, shell, or console) is a different way to interact with your computer. Instead of clicking, you type text commands and press **Enter** to run them. It might look intimidating at first, but it's really just another way to tell your computer what to do.
+
+### Opening the Terminal
+
+**On macOS:**
+
+1. Press **Command (⌘) + Space** to open Spotlight Search.
+2. Type `Terminal` and press **Enter**.
+3. A window with a black or white background and a blinking cursor will appear. That's the terminal!
+
+**On Windows:**
+
+1. Press **Windows key + R** to open the Run dialog.
+2. Type `cmd` and press **Enter**.
+3. Alternatively, search for "Command Prompt" or "PowerShell" in the Start menu.
+
+> **Tip for Windows users:** WP-CLI works best with Git Bash or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). You can download Git Bash from [git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com/downloads).
+
+**On Linux:**
+
+1. Look for "Terminal" in your applications menu, or press **Ctrl + Alt + T** on many distributions.
+
+### Basic Terminal Navigation
+
+Once the terminal is open, here are a few essential commands to know:
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `pwd` | Shows the folder you are currently in |
+| `ls` (macOS/Linux) or `dir` (Windows) | Lists files and folders in the current folder |
+| `cd folder-name` | Moves into a folder named `folder-name` |
+| `cd ..` | Goes up one folder level |
+| `clear` | Clears the terminal screen |
+
+Don't worry — you don't need to memorize all of these right now. You can come back to this table whenever you need a reminder.
+
+## What Is WP-CLI?
+
+WP-CLI is a **command line interface for WordPress**. It lets you manage your WordPress website by typing commands in the terminal, instead of clicking through the WordPress admin dashboard.
+
+Think of it this way: anything you can do in the WordPress admin (installing plugins, creating users, updating settings), you can also do with WP-CLI — and usually much faster.
+
+### Why Should I Use WP-CLI?
+
+Here are a few reasons why even non-technical WordPress users find WP-CLI useful:
+
+- **Speed:** Update all your plugins with a single command instead of clicking through each one.
+- **Automation:** Repeat the same tasks easily without navigating the admin every time.
+- **Bulk actions:** Do things to many posts, users, or options all at once.
+- **Remote management:** Manage a website on a remote server without opening a browser.
+- **Reliability:** Less clicking means fewer mistakes.
+
+## Installing WP-CLI
+
+For step-by-step installation instructions on macOS, Linux, and Windows, see the [Installing](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/installing/) guide. It covers system requirements, the recommended Phar download method, and alternative installation options such as Composer and Homebrew.
+
+## Running WP-CLI: Inside vs. Outside the WordPress Folder
+
+WP-CLI needs to know which WordPress installation to work with. By default, it looks for WordPress in your **current directory** (the folder your terminal is currently in).
+
+This means you generally need to `cd` into your WordPress site's folder before running WP-CLI commands. For example:
+
+```
+cd /var/www/mysite
+wp plugin list
+```
+
+If you run `wp plugin list` from a folder that doesn't contain a WordPress installation, you'll get an error like:
+
+```
+Error: This does not seem to be a WordPress installation.
+```
+
+**Where is my WordPress folder?**
+
+- On a typical shared host, it's often something like `/home/username/public_html` or `/var/www/html`.
+- If you use a local development tool like Local, MAMP, or XAMPP, each tool has its own folder structure — check its documentation.
+- On managed WordPress hosts, WP-CLI may be pre-configured to work without needing to `cd` first.
+
+## Running Your First WP-CLI Command
+
+Navigate in your terminal to your WordPress folder (see [above](#running-wp-cli-inside-vs-outside-the-wordpress-folder)). For example:
+
+```
+cd /var/www/mysite
+```
+
+Then try this command:
+
+```
+wp --info
+```
+
+This displays information about your WP-CLI installation. If it works, you're ready to go!
+
+To see the version of WordPress you have installed:
+
+```
+wp core version
+```
+
+To list the plugins on your site:
+
+```
+wp plugin list
+```
+
+## Reading WP-CLI Output
+
+When you run a WP-CLI command, it prints a response in the terminal. Here's what the common messages mean:
+
+- **`Success:`** — The command worked as expected.
+- **`Warning:`** — The command ran, but there's something you should know about.
+- **`Error:`** — Something went wrong. Read the message to find out what.
+
+## Getting Help
+
+### Built-in help
+
+WP-CLI has built-in documentation for every command. If you get stuck, run `wp help` to see a list of all available commands:
+
+```
+wp help
+```
+
+To get help on a specific command, add the command name after `help`. For example:
+
+```
+wp help plugin
+wp help plugin install
+```
+
+### Community support
+
+If the built-in help isn't enough, these resources can help:
+
+- **[WP-CLI Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/)** — The full reference documentation.
+- **[GitHub Issues](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/issues)** — Report bugs or search for known problems.
+- **[WordPress.org Support Forums](https://wordpress.org/support/)** — General WordPress help from the community.
+
+## Using WP-CLI on a Remote Server (SSH)
+
+If your WordPress site is hosted on a remote server (most live websites are), you can still use WP-CLI. There are two common approaches:
+
+1. **SSH into the server and run WP-CLI there.** Most hosts provide SSH access. Connect with a command like:
+
+    ```
+    ssh username@yoursite.com
+    ```
+
+    Then navigate to your WordPress folder and use WP-CLI normally.
+
+2. **Use WP-CLI's built-in SSH support.** WP-CLI can run commands on a remote server directly from your local machine. See the [Running Commands Remotely](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/running-commands-remotely/) guide for details.
+
+## Learning More
+
+Now that you've got the basics, here are some great next steps:
+
+- **[Common Tasks with WP-CLI](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/common-tasks/)** — Practical examples for everyday WordPress management.
+- **[Quick Start Guide](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/quick-start/)** — A short walkthrough of WP-CLI with more examples.
+- **[Running Commands Remotely](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/running-commands-remotely/)** — Manage your live site's server over SSH.
+- **[All WP-CLI Commands](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/)** — The full list of commands available.
+- **[External Resources](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/guides/external-resources/)** — Blog posts, slides, and videos from WP-CLI users.
+
+You don't need to learn everything at once. Start with a task you want to speed up, find the right command, and go from there!

+
+## Plugins
+
+### Install a plugin
+
+```
+wp plugin install contact-form-7
+```
+
+### Install and activate a plugin in one step
+
+```
+wp plugin install contact-form-7 --activate
+```
+
+### Activate an already-installed plugin
+
+```
+wp plugin activate contact-form-7
+```
+
+### Deactivate a plugin
+
+```
+wp plugin deactivate contact-form-7
+```
+
+### Update a specific plugin
+
+```
+wp plugin update akismet
+```
+
+### Update all plugins at once
+
+```
+wp plugin update --all
+```
+
+### List all installed plugins and their status
+
+```
+wp plugin list
+```
+
+### Delete a plugin
+
+```
+wp plugin delete hello
+```
+
+## Themes
+
+### Install a theme
+
+```
+wp theme install twentytwentyfour
+```
+
+### Activate a theme
+
+```
+wp theme activate twentytwentyfour
+```
+
+### Update all themes
+
+```
+wp theme update --all
+```
+
+### List all installed themes
+
+```
+wp theme list
+```
+
+## WordPress Core
+
+### Check which version of WordPress is installed
+
+```
+wp core version
+```
+
+### Check if a WordPress update is available
+
+```
+wp core check-update
+```
+
+### Update WordPress to the latest version
+
+```
+wp core update
+```
+
+### Update the WordPress database after an update
+
+```
+wp core update-db
+```
+
+## Users
+
+### List all users
+
+```
+wp user list
+```
+
+### Create a new user
+
+```
+wp user create jane jane@example.com --role=editor
+```
+

+
+> **Tip:** The `--reassign=1` option moves the deleted user's posts to the user with ID 1 (usually the site admin). Replace `1` with the ID of the user you want to reassign posts to.
+
+### Add an administrator role to an existing user
+
+```
+wp user set-role jane administrator
+```
+
+## Posts and Pages
+
+### Create a new post

 # Installing
 
+## Requirements
+
+WP-CLI requires **PHP 7.2.24 or later**. To check the version of PHP available on your system, run:
+
+```
+php --version
+```
+
+WP-CLI has no additional requirements beyond those of WordPress itself.
+
 ## Recommended installation
 
 The recommended way to install WP-CLI is by downloading the Phar build (archives similar to Java JAR files, [see this article for more detail](http://php.net/manual/en/phar.using.intro.php)), marking it executable, and placing it on your PATH.
