1) First of all you will need purchase cPanel license for server IP address, where you want to install panel.
You can do this on this page on our site: сPanel/WHM.
It is better to plain install сPanel/WHM. For example, if you install сPanel/WHM on VPS ordered on oursite, you need to choose a template with the “Minimal” label in the template description.
It is needed in order to avoid difficulties with the missing components and to avoid errors about unsatisfied dependences. In that case сPanel/WHM will install all needed components on its own.
2) Access your server via SSH. To get SSH access with Windows, you can usePuTTY.
3) Go to home catalog using the following command:
cd /home
4) If wget can is not installed by default, install it:
yum install wget
5) After that download cPanel install package on your server:
wget -N http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest
6) After finishing the download, run installation with the following command:
sh latest
After performing mentioned actions the installation of cPanel will begin. It is a long time process and can take up to 30-90 minutes.
