Install Plesk manually

This guide shows how to install Plesk Obsidian manually on a fresh Linux server, either with the one-click installer or the interactive console installer. Use these steps if you run a minimal operating system without our Plesk OS template.

Recommended method: The easiest way to get started with Plesk is to use one of our OS templates. You can select this directly in your PowerPanel during the OS installation process.

Method 1: One-Click Installation (Fastest)

This is the quickest way to install Plesk with a standard set of components. A single command automatically downloads and runs the installer.

Requirements

•Logged in as root user via SSH

•Freshly installed, minimal operating system

Plesk One-Click Installer

sh <(curl https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer || wget -O - https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer)

Method 2: Interactive Console Installation

This method gives you more control. You can use an interactive interface to select exactly which components should be installed.

Step 1: Download and prepare the installer

Download & Chmod

wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer chmod +x plesk-installer

Step 2: Run the installer

Note: The installer will guide you interactively through the selection of the installation type (Recommended, Full, or Custom). Follow the instructions in your terminal.
