In last post I already demonstrate a few command in shell for helping me, here’s quick summary of those command :
Wget
I use it most for download something, like themes or plugin for one of my blog.
For example :
I took one theme from today weblog tools collection, pick Excel theme.
1. Go to theme folder
al@hostingformula [~]# cd www/books/wp-content/themes/
al@hostingformula [~/www/books/wp-content/themes]# ls
./ ../ blue-zinfandel-2column.zip default/
cd, this command will move me to directory xxxx
ls, this command will list all files and folders in current directory
2. Download theme and unpack
al@hostingformula [~/www/books/wp-content/themes]# wget http://alphablogdesigns.com/xxxxxxyyyyyyyy/excel.zip
–09:23:57– http://alphablogdesigns.com/xxxxxxyyyyyyyy/excel.zip
=> `excel.zip’

See directory list now using ls :
al@hostingformula [~/www/books/wp-content/themes]# ls
./ ../ blue-zinfandel-2column.zip default/ excel.zip
As you see there is one file ‘excel.zip’ there.
Now unpack the file :
al@hostingformula [~/www/books/wp-content/themes]# unzip excel.zip
Hit Enter and you’ll see some process :
inflating: excel/searchform.php
inflating: excel/sidebar.php
inflating: excel/single.php
inflating: excel/style.css
al@hostingformula [~/www/books/wp-content/themes]#
Finished, you can see the theme. Ready to use, thanks to alphablogdesign for providing this great theme.
