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:

mkdir /home/cpins
cd /home/cpins
yum install wget
yum install perl
wget -N http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest
sh latest
3) 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:
/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
