Introduction
This guide outlines the steps necessary to convert a CentOS or AlmaLinux server to CloudLinux.
Procedure
Please note that if you purchased a CloudLinux license through cPanel, it is IP based, so there is no activation key.
- Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
- Run the following command to download the
cldeploy
script.wget https://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cldeploy
- Run the following command to convert the server to CloudLinux.
sh cldeploy -i
Please note that once the installation has been completed, the server must be rebooted into the CloudLinux kernel.
