How to install DirectAdmin?

Step 1: The first step is to log in to your root account using SSH or any other way.

If you have an IP-based license, run the below command.

bash <(curl -LSs https://download.directadmin.com/setup.sh || curl -LSs https://download-alt.directadmin.com/setup.sh) 'auto'

For a key-based license, execute the following command with your license key.

bash <(curl -LSs https://download.directadmin.com/setup.sh || curl -LSs https://download-alt.directadmin.com/setup.sh) 'Provided license key should go here'

Once the installation starts, it may take from 20 to 30 minutes to complete.

Step 2: After the installation is done, it will display the login credentials and the URL on-screen. You can access it by changing the URL in your browser to http://IP-Address:2222 (Replace IP-Address text with your server IP or hostname).
