Prerequisites
- An Ubuntu 18.04 VPS with root access enabled or a user with sudo privileges. We’ll be using our SSD 2 VPS for this.
- Minimum of 1 GB RAM (2 GB RAM is recommended)
- Minimum 10 GB free disk space (about 40 GB of free disk space is recommended)
Step 1: Connect via SSH and Update the OS
Log in to our Ubuntu server using SSH as the root user (or as a user with sudo privileges). You can do that by entering this command:
ssh root@Server_IP_Address -p Port_Number
Remember to replace ‘root’ with your username if you are not using the root user. Also, replace Server_IP_Address and Port_Number with your actual server IP address and SSH port number.
Once you are logged in, you should update all of your OS packages to their latest available version.
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
Step 2: Download and Install CyberPanel
It is recommended to have a minimal install base of OS packages, so stop and uninstall Apache, MySQL, Postfix, Dovecot, etc. and delete their configuration files:
systemctl stop apache2 systemctl stop mysql systemctl stop postfix systemctl stop dovecot apt-get purge apache2* libapache2* mysql-client* mysql-common* mysql-server* postfix* dovecot* apt-get autoremove apt-get clean rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
You can now download the latest version of CyberPanel installer script with:
cd /opt wget -O installer.sh https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh chmod 755 installer.sh
After downloading the installer script, run the command below to begin the installation:
sh installer.sh
During the installation, you should see a series of prompts. Choose the appropriate options to finish the installation:
Checking root privileges... You are runing on root... Checking OS... Detecting Ubuntu 18.x... Pre-flight check completed... Process check completed...
