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.

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

[2] Run the following commands to install cPanel: <syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> iptables -F service iptables save mkdir /home/cpins cd /home/cpins yum install wget yum install perl wget -N http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest sh latest </syntaxhighlight>


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

https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/whm

You'll need to replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your server's main IP.


[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:

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