   I've tested it and having single quotes around the password also didn't work...

   Hi
   Here's a fixed version of a script - with proper quoting

    read -p "Enter site title: " title
    read -p "Enter admin username: " adminuser
    read -p "Enter admin email: " adminemail
    read -p "Enter admin password: " -s adminpassword
   -wp core install --url=https://$hostname --title="$title" --admin_user="$adminuser" --admin_email=$adminemail --admin_password=$adminpassword --skip-email
   +wp core install --url=https://$hostname --title="$title" --admin_user="$adminuser" --admin_email="$adminemail" --admin_password="$adminpassword" --skip-email

   Thank you for your answer. I tried that and it didn't work, sadly. Maybe there is some incompatibility between WP CLI and the newest Nginx/PHP/MySQL? I get mine from:
   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/nginx -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php -y
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.36-1_all.deb
sudo apt install gnupg -y
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.36-1_all.deb
rm mysql-apt-config_0.8.36-1_all.deb

   WP CLI I get from curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar.

   Any more ideas as to what could cause this?

   Hi @josvlaar
