Install DirectAdmin on CentOS 7.x step by step

For this we use a KVM VPS and we just have a clean CentOS 7.x installation.

Step 1
Install the prerequisites

yum install psmisc net-tools systemd-devel libdb-devel perl-DBI perl-Perl4-CoreLibs xfsprogs rsyslog logrotate crontabs file kernel-headers

Step 2
Download the setup.sh

wget https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh

At this point you should have your DirecAdmin license handy since you will be requested for this during the installation.

Step 3
Prepare setup.sh

chmod +x setup.sh

Step 4
Run setup.sh

./setup.sh

./setup.sh
*** 64-bit OS ***

DirectAdmin requires certain packages, described here:

Would you like to install these required pre-install packages? (y/n):

You should proceed with "y" yes.

Once that's finished your license information is required, that you can obtain from our Client Area

Once the Installation finishes you are ready to use your server, you can access the DirectAdmin panel using your server external IP : https://xx.xx.xx:2222

You can also setup DirectAdmin by using the parameter auto in the setup.sh
This method will be best for most people since it automatically installs everything for you, that includes also the CSF Firewall .

./setup.sh auto

If you want to setup DirectAdmin without questions for customizations!

Note: The ./setup.sh still works as described above.
