This command runs on the before_wp_load hook, just before the WP load process begins.
Default behavior is to check the releases API for the newest stable version, and prompt if one is available.
Use --stable to install or reinstall the latest stable version.
Use --nightly to install the latest built version of the master branch. While not recommended for production, nightly contains the latest and greatest, and should be stable enough for development and staging environments.
Only works for the Phar installation mechanism.
