# wp plugin install

### OPTIONS
See the [argument syntax](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/references/argument-syntax/) reference for a detailed explanation of the syntax conventions used.
<plugin|zip|url>...
: One or more plugins to install. Accepts a plugin slug, the path to a local zip file, a URL to a remote zip file or PHP file, or a URL to a WordPress.org plugin directory.
[\--version=<version>]
: If set, get that particular version from wordpress.org, instead of the stable version.
[\--force]
: If set, the command will overwrite any installed version of the plugin, without prompting for confirmation.
[\--ignore-requirements]
: If set, the command will install the plugin while ignoring any WordPress or PHP version requirements specified by the plugin authors.
[\--activate]
: If set, the plugin will be activated immediately after install.
[\--activate-network]
: If set, the plugin will be network activated immediately after install
[\--insecure]
: Retry downloads without certificate validation if TLS handshake fails. Note: This makes the request vulnerable to a MITM attack.
