Quick Start: Installing Plesk on Linux

Plesk can be installed easily on any Linux server we provide – whether VPS or dedicated.

The fastest way is using the official one-click installer:

1. Connect via SSH:
   Log in as root on your server using a terminal or an SSH client like PuTTY.

2. Start the installer:
   Run the following command:

   sh <(curl https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer || wget -O - https://autoinstall.plesk.com/one-click-installer)
   

   The installer will automatically download the latest Plesk version and install the standard features that suit most users.

3. Wait for the installation:
   It usually takes about 15 minutes. Depending on network speed and server performance, it may be slightly shorter or longer.

4. Set up the admin account:
   After installation, a one-time link will appear in the console. Open this link in your browser to set your Plesk admin password.

5. Activate your license:
   You can then immediately enter your Plesk key to activate your license. Plesk is ready to use.

6. Optional: Adjust components:
   Later, you can add or remove Plesk components via the web interface or the console, depending on your needs.
