How to download and install Plesk on Linux server?

1 – Plesk On Linux VPS One-click installation :

One-click installation is a fast and hassle-free way of getting a Plesk server with default configuration up and running. Here is how to do it:

First, make sure that your server conforms to the installation requirements:

• • A Linux server with root access.
  • At least 1 GB of RAM and 10 GB of free disk space.
  • A valid license key or a trial key for Plesk.
  • Software Requirements for Plesk.

Then, log in to the server via SSH as the ‘root’ user and run the following command:

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get upgrade


after that write this command:

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

The Plesk installation will proceed automatically. It takes, on average, around 15 minutes. The exact time can vary depending on the network bandwidth, the network speed, the server OS version, and so on.

The installer will download the latest stable Plesk release, install it with the default set of components and features designed to suit the needs of the majority of users and apply all available patches and updates for maximum security and performance.

2 – Install Plesk via CLI

If you want to select specific Plesk components for installation, install Plesk using the interactive console. Follow these steps to begin:

Download the installer script:

wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer
Make the downloaded installer script executable:

chmod +x ./plesk-installer
(Optional) During the installation, Plesk configures the firewall, at which time runtime firewall rules are lost. To preserve the currently configured Firewalld runtime rules, run the following command:

env PLESK_INSTALLER_SKIP_FIREWALLD=1
However, in this case, you must manually open the ports required for Plesk to operate. You can do it via a firewall or the Plesk Firewall extension.

(Optional) When you install Plesk on a server with 512 MB of RAM or less, a 1 GB swap file is created to improve Plesk’s performance. If you do not want Plesk to create this file (for example, if you have an SSD drive and want to avoid the wear and tear caused by constant I/O operations), increase the amount of RAM on the server or run the following command:

env PLESK_SWAP=disable
Launch the Plesk interactive installer. Depending on the Plesk version you want to install, do one of the following:

To install the latest stable Plesk version, run the following command:

sh ./plesk-installer
To install another Plesk version, first view the list of all versions available for installation. Add the –all-versions option, and then run the command:

sh ./plesk-installer --all-versions
Select a Plesk version and type its sequential number:

During the installation, you will be asked a series of questions. You can choose the appropriate options and go back to correct the previously selected options if necessary.
