How To Install cPanel

Once you have purchased your VPS, you will need to purchase a licence for it. I recommend purchasing from: cPanel Direct

If you do not wish to purchase it you can use the free thirty day trial.

Now to begin with the installation.

After you have logged into the root account type in the following command:
'cd /home'
This will go to the directory 'home'

Now we are on the home directory we can download the latest version of cPanel. To do this we use the command:
'wget -N http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest'
Once you have executed the command - cPanel will begin to download.

After it has finished downloading you are ready to perform the installation of cPanel. To run the installation files use the command:
'sh latest'
The installation process can take up to an hour.

Once done you must activate your licence. You can do this by running this command:
'/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt'

Once done you will need to login to WHM and configure cPanel.
In your default browser:
https://SERVERIP:2087

Username: root
Password: root
Default username and password.

I hope this helps some people out there.
