How to Install and Configure CyberPanel on Your CentOS 7 Server

Introduction

CyberPanel is one of the first control panels on the market that is both open source and uses OpenLiteSpeed. What this means is that, rather than using a conventional web server, CyberPanel takes advantage of OpenLiteSpeed. LiteSpeed offers performance benefits, which help reduce resource usage.

Prerequisites

In order to install CyberPanel, you will need the following:

• a CentOS 7 (64-bit) server
• wget
• root access

Installation

Update the packages installed on the system:

yum update -y

Download the installer to the /root directory:

cd ~
wget -O installer.sh https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh

Repair the permissions and run the installer:

chmod 755 installer.sh
sh installer.sh

You will see the following output:
