How to Use cPanel to Install CloudLinux OS on a CentOS Server

This guide provides a step-by-step process for installing CloudLinux OS on a CentOS server using cPanel. With your CloudLinux activation key, you can easily download and run the installation script to enhance your server’s capabilities.

To install CloudLinux OS on your CentOS server, ensure you have root-level access and follow these instructions:

1. Log in to your server as the root user via SSH.
2. Download the CloudLinux installation script by running this command:

   wget https://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cldeploy

3. Execute the downloaded script to install LVE Manager, Apache, PAM module, CloudLinux kernel, and command line utilities. Use one of the following commands:

   sh cldeploy -k <activation_key>

   or

   sh cldeploy -i

4. Restart your server with the following command:

   reboot

5. Validate the CloudLinux migration by checking your server's version:

   cat /etc/redhat-release

   Expected output: CloudLinux release 7.3

With LVE enabled, your server is now running the CloudLinux Kernel.

That’s all! Your server is successfully converted to CloudLinux.
