# wget plugins install script

 * 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&#8221](https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz&#8221);
 * 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/](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`
