wp-cli: wp core download "does not seem to be a WordPress install"
wp core download --force Now that I have upgraded wp-cli (My previous version was just before you added the --allow-root flag) I can no longer run the “wp core download” command. I have an empty directory I’ve navigated to, and its’ permissions are +rwx 0755.
wp core download --force
Error: This does not seem to be a WordPress install.
Pass --path=path/to/wordpress or run wp core download.
You can imagine the frustration from the command wp core download telling you to run wp core download

Not sure what this is, but it seems to be a problem specific to your environment. Sorry I can’t help further.
I ran into this issue and discovered that not all wp-cli’s are created equal. I was NOT able to run
wp core downloadwhen I first installed wp-cli in my docker container usingcomposer create-project wp-cli/wp-cli-bundle --no-dev. However, when I installed wp-cli using the PHAR (i.e.curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar) I was able to runwp core downloadin an empty directory and get a fresh download of WP 6.1.1 with no errors … (aside from the PHP 8.1 deprecation notices. See https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/issues/5623)
