Manual installation

At the end of the installation process you will have

• a plugin - almost invisible: no backend page, just custom wp-cli commands
• a theme - where you will do all of the work

Additional prerequisites

1. WordPress installed and configured as per official documentation

Note

We don’t know if you have a local apache {M,L,W}AMPP instance or whatever in order to perform the official installation process. Keep in mind that Wordless’ flow does not need any external web server, since it will use the wp server command to serve your wordpress.
