wp plugin install-dependencies

Installs all dependencies of an installed plugin.

This command is useful when you have a plugin installed that depends on other plugins, and you want to install those dependencies without activating the main plugin.

OPTIONS

See the argument syntax reference for a detailed explanation of the syntax conventions used.

<plugin>
The installed plugin to get dependencies for.
[--activate]
If set, dependencies will be activated immediately after install.
[--activate-network]
If set, dependencies will be network activated immediately after install.
[--force]
If set, the command will overwrite any installed version of the plugin, without prompting for confirmation.

EXAMPLES

$ wp plugin install-dependencies my-plugin
Installing Required Plugin 1 (1.2.3)
Plugin installed successfully.
Installing Required Plugin 2 (2.0.0)
Plugin installed successfully.
