Installing wp-env

Requires nvm.

First install docker-compose (this script doesn't work with docker compose):

# On Debian or derivatives
sudo apt install docker-compose -y

Then install wp-env

cd ~/dev/wp/path/to/myplugin

# Install and use the latest LTS node
nvm install --lts
nvm use lts/*

# Install wp-env as a global node LTS package
npm install --global @wordpress/env

# Now you can use it anytime
wp-env start
