Before installing LiteSpeed, ensure that you have a serial number available. We have some information on the Litespeed License Types offered on the cPanel Store if needed.

LiteSpeed offers a new installer. To utilize it:

  1. Access your server via SSH as the root user
  2. Locate your Litespeed serial number
  3. Execute the Litespeed get.litespeed.sh script with:
bash <( curl https://get.litespeed.sh ) SERIAL

Ensure to replace the "SERIAL" value with your Litespeed serial number.

Litespeed has an additional installer which you can install using these commands via SSH:

wget https://www.litespeedtech.com/packages/cpanel/lsws_whm_autoinstaller.sh
chmod a+x lsws_whm_autoinstaller.sh

To install Litespeed using the "lsws_whm_autoinstaller.sh" script, execute it with:

./lsws_whm_autoinstaller.sh SERIAL

Further details on both of these tools will be on LiteSpeed's official documentation.
