How to Install CyberPanel on Cloud VPS
For reference, after the CentOS 7 install has completed, we have not yet accessed the VPS. So this guide will include every task, from initial login (via SSH) to accessing the CyberPanel control panel from a web browser upon completed installation.
Let’s begin our journey to install CyberPanel on CentOS 7:
- Access your Welcome Email from Rad Web Hosting, containing the details of your Cloud VPS server.
- Using Putty, connect to the IPv4 address (Primary IP) of your server. Login as the root user with the password provided by the web host.
- Once connected, we need to prepare the system for installation. So we will run command “sudo yum update -y” to ensure everything is up-t0-date.
- We are also aiming for fastest and easiest way to install CyberPanel on cloud VPS. So we will immediately run the CyberPanel installer script, which will handle compiling and installing the entire software base (things our parents had to install individually when they wanted to build CyberPanel servers):
sudo yum update -y sh <(curl https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O - https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh)
- Once the script has stopped installing packages, it will ask you some questions on the terminal, which we will need to answer:
