Description
Installing cPanel version 92 on CloudLinux 8 servers isn't the recommended version to use as it contains a few issues. Since version 92 is experimental for CloudLinux 8, some issues may need to be resolved manually. Such is the case with the missing EasyApache 4 repository. It is recommended to install cPanel version 94 on CloudLinux 8 servers.

However, if you still want to use CloudLinux 8 with version 92, the below workaround will need to be applied before the installation is successful.
Workaround
Ensure CloudLinux license is activated and the cache has been rebuilt for yum.
/usr/sbin/rhn_check
/usr/bin/cldetect --update-license
/usr/bin/yum clean all
/usr/bin/yum makecache
Note: If any errors occur regarding the license, please ensure the license is properly activated. For example, if you have a key license, the below process would be required to register the license.
/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks --activationkey=<activation key> --force
Be sure to replace <activation key> with your CloudLinux license activation key.
Install the EasyApache 4 repo:
yum install https://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/EA4/cloudlinux-ea4-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
Then finally run the installer:
cd /home && curl -o latest -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest && sh latest
