This is a package that implements the wp server command.

It uses the PHP built-in server to serve a given WordPress instance.

The main advantage is that you don't have to install and configure Nginx or Apache, which can be overkill if you just want to work on a theme or a plugin.

• PHP 5.4 or newer
• WordPress 3.5 or newer

First, make sure you have the package index configured:

cd ~/.wp-cli/
php composer.phar config repositories.wp-cli composer http://wp-cli.org/package-index/

Then, just install the package:

php composer.phar require wp-cli/server-command=dev-master

The main difference is that we don't modify the wp-config.php file, so you can run other WP-CLI commands while the server is running.
