1. Eliminate going to the website, downloading and unpacking the install on my local computer, then uploading it to the server

I remembered an article on Hackaday called WordPress 2.7 upgrade in one line.  I read through the article and liked the curl method much better than the wget approach I was going to use,  plus this used the rm command to remove a directory, which led me to come up with the final touch of deleting the wp-config-sample.php file in order to use the web based tool to create a new one.

So taking from the Chris Finke’s Twitter post I modified it to suit my One Minute WordPress Installation:

Open the Terminal and ssh into your server:

ssh username yourserver.com

then type:

curl http://wordpress.org/latest.zip -o "wp.zip" && unzip wp.zip && rm -rf ./wordpress/wp-config-sample.php

This will
download and unpack the latest WordPress release, then delete the
wp-config-sample.php so we can use the web-based creator later.

O.K., so I solved the big issue, which eliminated my local computer from the equation and allowed me to download and unpack straight to the server.  This shaved a huge chuck on time that was wasted on redundancy.  I am still working on a solution so you can use a php script on your server to create the mysql database without needing to log in to your host’s webpanel.  I’ll update the site oneminutewordpress.com as soon as I finish up on that side of things, but for now you can revel in the glory of a one minute manual WordPress Install.  Here’s a link to

andthe step by step instructions.
