如何“通过在插件根目录中运行命令来安装PHP客户端”？

Question

I customize Wordpress sites, so I'm somewhat technical but I'm trying to install a plugin from GitHub and the instructions are confusing me.

Here are the Installing instructions:

1. Clone or copy project folder into wp-content/plugins directory
2. Install the SpinPapi PHP client by running the commands git submodule init and git submodule update in the WPSpin root directory
3. Ensure that the WPSpin/spinpapi/tmp folder is writable by the web server user
4. Activate plugin from WordPress plugins screen

I'm pretty baffled by numbers 2 and 3. How do I run a command in a root directory? And when I downloaded the zip file, there isn't even a WPSpin/spinpapi/tmp folder, so how do I make it writable?

This is the page I'm looking at: Github reference link

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Can you connect to your server by ssh?

if yes, you can execute command like:

connect to your server

ssh username@mydomain.com

1: clone git repository

git clone https://github.com/emumarketing/WPSpin.git

2: Install the SpinPapi PHP client

cd WPSpin
git submodule init
git submodule update

3: search on google about chmod to make the folder writable
