How to enable the Application Manager in cPanel

Question

How can I enable the Application Manager feature in my cPanel user accounts?

Answer

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.

1. Log in to WHM.
2. Navigate to WHM / Software / EasyApache 4.
3. Click Customize next to Currently Installed Packages.
4. Click the Apache Modules section.
5. Ensure the env and passenger modules are enabled.
6. Ensure either a NodeJS package has been enabled from the Additional Packages section or a Ruby package is installed via the Ruby via Passenger section.
7. Click Review.
8. Review the list of packages being installed/removed/upgraded.
9. Click Provision.

With the packages installed, you can now ensure the feature is enabled for your users.

1. Navigate to WHM / Packages / Edit a Package.
2. Select the package for your user from the list.
3. Click Edit.
4. Ensure Application Manager is checked.
5. Click Save.

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