    I am writing a linux script to automate the installation of WordPress and some of the plugins I use in each WordPress I install. For WordPress I use

    wget -O latest.tar.gz “https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz”

    to download the most up to date version of wordpress then extract it. Which works as expected.

    Is there an equivalent to latest.tar.gz for plugins or does anyone know a way to use wget to down load the most up to date version of a particular plugin and ignore the numbers on the end of the plugin name and get the most up to date version?

    There isn’t, but have you considered installing and using wp-cli?

    http://wp-cli.org/

    That way you can use wp plugin install <plugin-slug> and you’ll get the latest version.

    Updating all of your plugins to the latest version is just as simple as this command.

    wp plugin update --all
