Installing cPanel manually

This guide covers the initial installation of cPanel on a fresh server and provides a common troubleshooting procedure for fixing disk quota issues.


Recommended Method: The easiest way to get started with cPanel is to use one of our OS templates that includes it. You can select this during the OS installation process in your Power Panel. The guide below is for manual installation on a minimal OS.

If you choose to install manually, cPanel must be installed on a freshly installed, minimal operating system (like CentOS or AlmaLinux). Do not install it on a server that already has other services running.

cPanel Installation Script
cd /home wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest sh ./latest

If the installation script fails, please ensure all your system's software repositories (repos) are valid and working correctly, then try again.
