Installing CyberPanel

CyberPanel is easy to install. Unfortunately, the installation must be done from the command line as there is no control panel for the control panel. Fortunately, it only involves typing a few commands.

There are several methods of installation, including cloud images for the most popular VPS providers. Please note that this writer has not personally verified each and every method of installation. Kindly advise the CP team if any do not function as expected. The method we will document here works in all server environments.

Prerequisites

• A VPS or dedicated server. Not shared hosting. If installing LSWS Ent, your physical RAM size must not exceed the size specified in your LSWS license. Run the "free" command to confirm physical RAM size.
• CentOS or Ubuntu. CP may run under other Linux distros however these two are the officially supported ones.
• A fresh server environment is preferred as that eliminates potential sources of conflicts and bugs. So reinstall your OS if possible. Backup any critical files first, of course.
• Optional: An LSWS Enterprise license (free or paid). Visit this link to get the CyberPanel/LSWS Bundle.
