Installing Gravity Forms and Add-Ons
The above commands all require Gravity Forms to be installed. However, if Gravity Forms is not installed then you can use this add-on to install it along with all the other official Gravity Forms add-ons.
The install command will download and install the latest version Gravity Forms available for auto-update and then run the database setup. The license key will be saved in the plugin settings.
A valid license key is required either in the GF_LICENSE_KEY constant or the --key option.
Examples:
wp gf install --key=xxxxxwp gf install --key=xxxxx --activatewp gf install gravityformspolls --key=xxxxxwp gf install gravityformsquiz --key=xxxxx
Once installed, the database can be set up or upgraded separately using the setup command. The command will not re-run the setup unless the --force flag is set.
Examples:
wp gf setupwp gf setup --force
Gravity Forms and official add-ons can be updated using the update command.
Examples:
wp gf updatewp gf update gravityformspolls
Check the current version using the version command.
Examples:
wp gf versionwp gf version gravityformspolls
