Download GLPI from command line on Linux

In this tutorial, I will explain how to download GLPI from the command line with wget, unzip it and move it to the virtualhost folder.

If you have a Web server under Linux with Nginx, this tutorial will allow you to install GLPI without needing to use a WinSCP type client or FTP server.

1. Get the url of the latest GLPI archive on the Github repository here : Releases · glpi-project/glpi (github.com).

2. Use the wget command to download the archive:

wget https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/releases/download/9.X.Y/glpi-9.X.Y.tgz

3. Decompress the archive with the tar command:

tar -xvzf glpi-9.X.Y.tgz

4. Move the unzipped content (glpi folder) to the virtualhost folder:

sudo mv glpi/* /dossier/du/virtualhost/

You now know how to download and move files with wget, tar and mv.
