In this tutorial, we will show you how to install CyberPanel on CentOS 8. For those of you who didn’t know, CyberPanel is one of the first control panels on the market that is both open sources and uses an OpenLiteSpeed web server which also packs Email, DNS, and FTP servers. It has two versions free and enterprise versions. The free version uses Open Lite Speed while the enterprise version uses the Lite Speed Web server.
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 the step-by-step installation of the CyberPanel on CentOS 8.
Prerequisites
- A server running one of the following operating systems: CentOS 8, and any other RHEL-based distribution.
- It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
- SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
- A
non-root sudo useror access to theroot user. We recommend acting as anon-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
