This package introduces two new WP CLI commands to generate fake data.

This command can be installed for WP CLI by running:

wp package install yoast/wp-cli-faker.

In many cases the default memory limit will not be enough to run composer so running the following instead is generally recommended:

php -d memory_limit=512M "$(which wp)" package install yoast/wp-cli-faker

Clone the repo into your WordPress plugins folder.

This repo requires composer 1+ in order to be compatible with WP cli, so to use it as a plugin you must install dependencies with composer 1+. For ease of use composer 1 is shipped as a .phar file.

Run php composer.phar install.
