## Notes

EasyEngine is a command-line tool, written in PHP, that a server administrator runs to create and manage WordPress sites on a server. The [install guide](https://easyengine.io/cli/handbook/install/) installs it with an installer script on Linux, with Homebrew on Mac, or from a phar file. The guide says EasyEngine runs on Linux and Mac, and on any platform that has PHP and Docker.

The company behind it also offers EasyEngine Dashboard, a hosted control panel that manages sites on servers the user supplies. The command-line tool is the open source part of that product line, and the dashboard is a separate hosted service.

## Worth knowing

The [README](https://github.com/EasyEngine/easyengine/blob/develop/README.md) says the tool currently runs only with root privileges, so it needs a server where its user has root access.
