	~~Before installing cPanel, we recommend your server be partitioned appropriately. The default partitioning scheme~~ for ~~Virtual Servers is sufficient.~~ Acenet ~~has~~ a ~~recommended partitioning scheme for Dedicated Servers.~~ cPanel ~~should only be~~ installed ~~on a fresh, clean Operating System~~. ~~Once your server has the appropriate partitioning and has been licensed for cPanel~~, ~~follow the below steps for installation.~~		This guide is for Acenet cloud servers and dedicated servers ordered with a cPanel license, if cPanel isn't already installed. To check, try logging in to WHM at https://your-server-ip:2087.

	~~[1] Login~~ to your server ~~as the root user via SSH~~.

	~~[2] Run the following commands to install cPanel:~~		== Before you start ==
	~~<syntaxhighlight lang~~=~~"bash">~~
	~~systemctl stop NetworkManager~~
	~~systemctl disable NetworkManager~~
	~~iptables -F~~
	~~service iptables save~~
	~~mkdir /home/cpins~~
	~~cd /home/cpins~~
	~~yum -y install wget perl screen~~
	~~wget -N http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest~~
	~~sh latest~~
	~~</syntaxhighlight>~~

			* Start with a '''fresh installation''' of an operating system that cPanel supports, such as AlmaLinux or CloudLinux, with nothing else installed. See cPanel's [https://docs.cpanel.net/installation-guide/system-requirements/ system requirements].
			* Set the server's '''hostname''' to a fully qualified name that isn't one of your websites' domains, for example server.example.com, and point it to the server's IP address in DNS.
			* The installation takes 30 to 60 minutes.

	~~[3] Once the installation has completed you can login to WHM as the root user using the following URL:~~		== Install cPanel ==

	~~<pre>~~		'''1.''' Log in to your server as root over SSH.
	~~https://xxx~~.~~xxx~~.~~xxx.xxx:2087~~
	~~</pre>~~

	~~You~~'~~ll need to replace xxx~~.~~xxx.xxx.xxx with your server~~'~~s main IP. For example if your server~~'~~s main IP is 192.168.100.1, then you would use the following URL~~:		'''2.''' Run:

	<pre>		<pre>
	https://~~192~~.~~168~~.~~100.1:2087~~		cd /home && curl -o latest -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest && sh latest
	</pre>		</pre>

			'''3.''' When the installation finishes, log in to WHM as root at https://your-server-ip:2087 (for example https://192.0.2.10:2087) and complete the setup wizard.

			== License ==

	~~[4]~~ If ~~you receive~~ a license warning ~~upon first logging in to WHM~~, run ~~the following command from SSH~~ as ~~the~~ root ~~user~~ to ~~update your license~~:		Your cPanel license is provided by Acenet and is tied to your server's IP address. If WHM shows a license warning after installation, run this as root to refresh it:

	<~~syntaxhighlight lang="bash"~~>		<pre>
	/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt		/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
	</~~syntaxhighlight~~>		</pre>


	~~==Additional Information==~~

	~~Not sure what to do after you have finished installing cPanel? We have~~ a ~~cPanel Beginner's Guide here:~~		If the warning stays, please [[Open a support ticket\|open a support ticket]].

	~~[[CPanel Beginner~~'s ~~Guide]~~]		For full details, see cPanel's [https://docs.cpanel.net/installation-guide/install/ installation guide].
