How To Install Centmin Mod on CentOS

Install Centmin Mod on CentOS

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 a 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. Centmin Mod is an excellent option for those looking to set up a fast and reliable web server with minimal effort. It is a popular choice among web developers, system administrators, and small businesses who need a robust and easy-to-use web stack that can be deployed quickly and easily.

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 Centmin Mod on CentOS.

Prerequisites

  • A server running one of the following operating systems: CentOS or RHEL-based.
  • 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).
  • An active internet connection. You’ll need an internet connection to download the necessary packages and dependencies for Centmin Mod.
  • A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
