How to enable the Application Manager using the command line

Introduction

How can I enable the "Application Manager" feature for my cPanel user accounts using the command line?

Procedure

Required Packages

Some packages must be installed before you can utilize the Application Manager. If these are not installed, the system will not display the Application Manager interface.

• Enterprise Linux 7 or 8

  yum install ea-apache24-mod_env ea-ruby27-mod_passenger

•  Enterprise Linux 9

  yum install ea-apache24-mod-env ea-apache24-mod-passenger

•  Ubuntu

  apt install ea-apache24-mod-env ea-apache24-mod-passenger

Enable the Feature

With the packages installed, you can now enable the feature in your feature list:

whmapi1 update_featurelist featurelist=$FEATURE_LIST passengerapps=1

Replace $FEATURE_LIST with the feature list you're adding Application Manager to.

Confirmation

Once this is complete, your cPanel users should have access to the "Application Manager" in their cPanel accounts.
