[Command Line Interface: WP-CLI]: unable to run wp-cli/dev-build

  • When connected to bluehost server on SSH, I git cloned wp-cli successfully but cannot run the command to install the script on ~/wp-cli.
    Here is the command that I run:

    wp-cli/utils/dev-build

    And here is the response I get:

    ln: creating symbolic link/usr/bin/wp’: Read-only file system`

    I’m a terminal newb so am probably overlooking something obvious. Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.

    Has anybody else ran into or been able to resolve this problem? I called bluehost but they are unwilling to give me sudo access…

    Have you tried the new installer?

    curl https://wp-cli.org/installer.sh | bash

    This will allow you to run ~/.composer/bin/wp.

    I just tried and this is my output. Thanks for the help. Although it says it was installed, it was not. I am on bluehost and have changed some output information that I’m unsure if I should make public.

WP-CLI files have been succesfully installed.

To test, run:

	/bluehost-home-directory/my-bluehost-username/.composer/bin/wp --info
[email protected] [~]# /bluehost-home-directory/my-bluehost-username/.composer/bin/wp --info
-bash: /bluehost-home-directory/my-bluehost-username/.composer/bin/wp: No such file or directory

    I get a very similar warning tring to install wp-cli on JustHost

WP-CLI was not successfully installed.

    Looks like this issue is related to PHP using cgi-fcgi instead of CLI SAPI. I don’t really fully understand what that means, but it looks like Composer relies on variables that CLI SAPI allows you to pass applications but CGI and FCGI do not. Is there someone that knows a bit more about PHP configuration out there?
