Add wp-cli to sub-cPanel accounts in WHM?

[rudtek]

I have a vps on bluehost that's currently running whm on a centos. My main account has wp-cli installed. so when on SSH i can use commands "wp core download" etc. The problem is that none of the sub accounts (old or if newly created) have this ability. They say "-bash: wp: command not found."

Is there a way to turn wp-cli "on" for these other accounts?

What do you mean by sub cPanel accounts, Users created via the cPanel User Manager? Those users would not have SSH access.

From your root account:

Move to tmp dir

cd /tmp

Download WP-Cli

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar

Make it executable:

chmod +x wp-cli.phar

Move it to /usr/local/bin

sudo mv wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp

If your users have a Jail Shell, they will be able to use the command

While that advice is great for cPanel users @VM Creativo the original question was in regards to "subaccounts" which don't have SSH access. The only available subaccounts at this time are Email Users, Web Disk Users and FTP Users.

@cPanelLauren I might have used the incorrect language, but I don't think so. In WHM I create accounts, each of them is has their own individual cpanel. Only the main cpanel that was on my VPS has access to CLI. Each of those accounts can have ssh (jailed or normal). I think what @VM Creativo stated may be the answer to what I am trying to accomplish. I'll attempt and report back.

This seemed to work perfectly. One quick question. So now that I did this, do I have 2 versions of cli on my system? One that was previously installed and this one? or did this over-write the old with just with new permissions?

No i mean cpanel accounts created with WHM

Hi @rudtek


Ahhh!! Thanks for clarifying, subaccounts do imply something entirely different than the cPanel users. I'm glad to hear that @VM Creativos advice worked out for you!!
