Install a Script from Command Line (Only For cPanel, Directadmin and Webuzo)

Softaculous allows you to install a script from command line. Here is the guide: 

• Use the following command to install the script :

php /path/to/softaculous/cli.php --install --panel_user=USER --panel_pass=PASS --soft=26 --softdirectory=test --admin_username=admin --admin_pass=pass 

E.g. for cPanel :

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/cli.php --install --panel_user=USER --panel_pass=PASS --soft=26 --softdirectory=test --admin_username=admin --admin_pass=pass 

• Thats it. You have installed WordPress on your server.
