How to convert a CentOS or AlmaLinux server to CloudLinux

Question

How do you convert a CentOS or AlmaLinux server to CloudLinux?

Answer

Note: If you purchased a CloudLinux license through cPanel, it is IP-based, so there is no activation key.

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

2. Run the following command to download the cldeploy script:

   # wget https://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cldeploy  

3. Run the following command to convert the server to CloudLinux:

   # sh cldeploy -i

4. Once the installation has been completed, the server must be rebooted into the CloudLinux kernel.
