# Update and Upgrade your VPS
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade -y

The next step is to download the CyberPanel installation script. For example, you can find the installation script in the folder /tmp, which is automatically cleaned at every reboot. You can change into the directory, and then use the command wget to reduce the install script using the following commands:

# Download and install CyberPanel in your VPS
cd /tmp
wget -O installer.sh https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh

Next, you need to make the installation script executable. Next, you need to modify the file permissions for the script that you just downloaded by chmod below.

# Modify file permission 
chmod +x installer.sh

Then, use the following command to run the installer:

# Run the installer command 
sh installer.sh

Once the script is executed, the shell will guide you through the installation process and ask you to enter your settings. You can do this as shown below.
