How to install your first Cpanel

Well, you have your server/vps for the host you chose,finally got the email with the log in details( ip and root password ), so, what next?.
Ok, sometimes when the server had a previous version installed on the same ip, you will need a valid number to activate it, so, to bypass a problems, we go to BuyCpanel.com and pick up a valid license number. Just fill in details and license is instant, so, on with the installation. First you need to download a program called “putty” from Here , once its installed, open the program and you will see this window .
Enter your ip and leave port to “22” for now and click open.You will see a black command window .
Your now ready to start doing ssh commands listed here .Log on as “root” , and it will ask for password, enter it now and click enter . Now we’re in your server and need to go to the right place,so type in

cd /home

click enter and it will bring up another line.In this line you need to type in

wget -N http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/latest

click enter and your cpanel will start downloading, takes a while so don’t worry.Once its done a new line will come up ,here you type in

sh latest

click enter and your cpanel will install ,this takes time so, sit back and wait until new line comes up. Now you open your browser and in address bar you type

https:// your ip here :2087

using your server ip in the address. Your Whm page will come up ,
your user name is “root” and your password is same one you used for putty.And there you are, your Cpanel is installed and ready to set up,congratulations.If you get a Invalid File error because of a previous version was installed on your new ip , see here
