How to install DirectAdmin

It’s best to install DirectAdmin on a fresh Linux OS install. I suggest Almalinux or RockyLinux

Before you begin, set the hostname of the server. A default setup would be server.mydomain.com

  1. Make sure your hostname is correct. Type hostname and press enter to verify the hostname is correct.
