How to install ISPmanager

Before starting the installation, make sure that the wget download utility is installed on the server. The SELinux service is disabled during installation. This service interferes with the correct operation of the control panel.

The installation procedure is as follows:

Connect to the server via SSH with superuser privileges (root by default).

Download the installation script: wget https://download.ispmanager.com/install.sh -O install.sh

Next, execute (specify the appropriate parameter if necessary) to install:

latest version
sh install.sh

ispmanager with a trial or key-activated license
sh install.sh --ispmgr6

for a specific version of the panel run install.sh with the --release parameter, for example:
sh install.sh --release 6.40.1 ispmanager --ispmgr6

ISPmanager with OpenLiteSpeed web server:
sh install.sh --openlitespeed ispmanager-lite

After that we select the update branch of the control panel:

stable version - stable version of the system, which has successfully passed beta testing;

beta version - the version with the latest innovations, but it is still in beta testing.

Next, the script will automatically connect two ISPmanager repositories: ispsystem-base.repo for installing the base software and ispsystem.repo for installing the required versions.

From the list you should select:

1 - ispmanager lite (pro, host) with recommended software;
2 - ispmanager lite (pro, host) with the minimum set of software.

1 - Nginx and Apache MPM-ITK;
