* Hello:
First let me say “Awesome Sauce!” I just ran into wp-cli yesterday. Wow,
what a useful and powerful tool. I have only had a few hours of sleep learning
how to install it and use the parts or per-installed packages or commands. Because
I am using a shared hosting, cPanel, server there are restrictions I have learned
to work around.
* Here is the debug report or part of it, the important part:
* ```

Installing package wp-cli/admin-command (dev-master)
Updating /home/sirroberts/.wp-cli/packages/composer.json to require the package...
Using Composer to install the package...
---
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Reverted composer.json.
WP-CLI ran out of memory. Please see https://bit.ly/wpclimem for further help.
***************************************************
******** END OF REPORT *************
***************************************************
As you see the composer now requires the package (wp-cli/admin-command) it failed to install.
Another error I have received installing packages
error: Warning: Content-Length mismatch, received 163577 bytes out of the expected 675165
***************************************************
******** Possible solution *************
***************************************************
I tried adding the following code to the “.composer/config.json” to correct the issue.
{
"config": {
"github-protocols": [
"https"
]
},
"repositories": {
"packagist.org": {
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://packagist.org"
}}}
No luck.
***************************************************
******** Another possible sulution *************
***************************************************
Godaddy restricts editing of the php.ini file so
I added a user.ini file with the following entry.
max_input_vars = 5000
Again no luck

******** Another possible sulution *************

$ php -d memory_limit=512M "$(which wp)" package install wp-cli/admin-command

TRICK TO SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL ON A SHARED GODADDY SERVER
***************************************************
***************************************************
Install wp-cli
$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
Give the proper permissions
$ chmod +x wp-cli.phar
Test to make sure it is working
$ php wp-cli.phar --info
***Create an alias in your .bashrc so you can just use wp in your terminal commands***
$ echo "alias wp='~/wp-cli.phar'" >> .bashrc
Refresh that file
$ source .bashrc
if you test this out inside a wordpress install, you should see it working
$ wp plugin list
Installing packages
