# Can’t install plugin via WP-CLI

 * Hi
 * I want to install the Multisite Clone Duplicator on some WP multisites I am installing
   via WP-CLI.
 * However, when I use the command:
 * `wp plugin install multisite-clone-duplicator --activate-network`
 * I get this error:
 * `Error: multisite-clone-duplicator works only as multisite network-wide plugin`
 * Seems to be a conflict with the `check_if_network_admin()` function which checks
   whether the current request is for a network admin screen.
 * Any workarounds for this?
 * Thanks
    Eric

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for reporting the issue. It’s related to version 1.4.0 we just released.
 * We will add wp-cli context in `check_if_network_admin()` function, so users could
   install/activate it with wp-cli.
 * We will fix the bug in release 1.4.1 within a few days.
 * Please check for the updates at the end of the week.
 * Bests regards,
 * Pierre

 * That was fast! Thanks, that fixed it.
 * However in the process I found something else. I’ve created a new ticket here:
