In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Centmin Mod on CentOS. For those of you who didn’t know, Centmin Mod is a shell script that provides menu-based installer that allows you to install and manage the latest versions of the Nginx web server, MariaDB/MySQL, PHP, and a DNS server on a CentOS VPS, without using a control panel.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step by step installation Centmin Mod on a CentOS.
Requirements:
- Fresh CentOS 6.x based 32bit or 64bit installation (CentOS minimal ISO recommended)
- Minimum 256MB memory is available. With some tweaks outlined here, you can install on 128MB memory-based VPS. But recommend at least 256MB memory.
- 25 – 60 minutes of your time depending on the speed of your server, network speed (for downloads/yum etc).
Step 1. Install dependencies and download the latest version of Centmin Mod’s zip file.
yum -y install bc wget unzip nano yum-plugin-fastestmirror cd /usr/local/src wget http://centminmod.com/download/centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.07.zip
Step 2. Extract files and change to centmin-v1.2.3 mod directory and chmod +x centmin.sh bash script.
unzip centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.07.zip cd centmin-v1.2.3mod chmod +x centmin.sh
