However when I check wp-cli install with wp --info
I am missing the WP-CLI packages dir.
D:\>wp --info
PHP binary: D:\XAMPP\php\php.exe
PHP version: 5.6.8
php.ini used: D:\XAMPP\php\php.ini
WP-CLI root dir: phar://wp-cli.phar
WP-CLI packages dir:
WP-CLI global config:
WP-CLI project config:
WP-CLI version: 1.1.0
I would like to install this package globally using this command
wp package install iandunn/wp-cli-rename-db-prefix
but get following error:
Error: Composer directory for packages couldn't be created.
My PATH has these variables.
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm;D:\XAMPP\php;C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin;D:\XAMPP\mysql
How can I make sure the packages directory for wp-cli is set using the global require install method with composer please?
