I made a rookie mistake that I'm trying to correct.
I need to access a wordpress installation and edit the database, but the host doesn't provide a control panel or phpMyadmin so I set up an ssh tunnel. I installed wp cli and verified the installation. It all looks right
$ php wp-cli.phar --info

WP-CLI packages dir:
WP-CLI global config:
WP-CLI project config:
WP-CLI version: 2.5.0`
But when I used a wp command, I got an error this doesn't appear to be a wordpress installation
I was pretty sure I had the right path, and the error said to download wordpress
. So I did that. But now it's asking for me to make a config file
'wp-config.php' not found. Either create one manually or use `wp config create`
I don't want to do that. I must have the wrong path and will need to get that information from the host. But in the meantime, How can undo the wordpress installation. Or get back to
WP-CLI root dir: phar://wp-cli.phar/vendor/wp-cli/wp-cli
WP-CLI vendor dir: phar://wp-cli.phar/vendor
WP_CLI phar path: /home/wordpress_installation (assumed)
