 * Hello, I’m trying to start wp-cli, I’ve already followed the entire installation
   tutorial on the official website [https://wp-cli.org/br/] however, it is not 
   recognizing the wp command, it returns:** -bash: wp: command not found.**
    When
   I give the command **php wp-cli.phar –info **it returns normally.
 * I already gave the commands **chmod +x wp-cli.phar** and **sudo mv wp-cli.phar/
   usr/local/bin/wp**
 * Can anyone help me? I can’t figure it out.
    Thank you very much!
 * **Output of commands:**
 * **echo $PATH **:
    /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
 * **php wp-cli.phar –info:**

 * And when you type `which wp` ?

 * If `wp-cli.phar --info` works, I’d assume your move command didn’t execute as
   expected.
    What does `ls -l /usr/local/bin/wp` output?
 * Also, for the record, I’m more partial to getting the file like this:
    `curl --
   output wp https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.
   phar && chmod +x wp`
