2024-01-26 06:09:10 387 [17675] (ERROR): cPanel & WHM does not support the version of the Linux distribution you are running. You will need to install on one of the supported versions of a Linux distribution listed at https://go.cpanel.net/supported-os

Description

To encourage the use of operating systems supported on the 'release' tier and later, cPanel cannot be installed on servers running CloudLinux 6/7 or CentOS 7 without using the --force flag.

Workaround

1. Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
2. Run the following command.

   cd /home && curl -o latest -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest && sh latest --force

   Please note that the cpupdate.conf file must be updated to install cPanel 110 before running the installer.
