How to update plugins manually from the command line?

Hi
I’m trying to fix my website that stopped displaying after an update. It looks like one of the plugins might be the issue, and that it has possibly been fixed since then as my testing site seems to display fine after reinstalling all the updates.

So now I want to manually update the plugins on my main site from the command line as I can’t access my admin dash. I’m super green with any kind of dev work (no background, just figuring stuff out as I go), so does anyone maybe have any advice on how to do that?

I wouldn’t label this “dev work” - it’s System Administration (SA).

Here’s a guide:

Thanks @merefield
I did read through this previously, but it doesn’t seem to say anything about how to update plugins that have already been installed, from the command line. Any pointers?

When you run the rebuild command (at the linked article), it will update the plugins as part of the process if any updates are available.

Ah great I didn’t know that, thank you!
