Installing Plesk for Linux Using Installer GUI
-
Obtain the installer script
Download the installer script:
# wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer
Enable execution mode for the downloaded installer script:
# chmod +x ./plesk-installer

(Optional) During installation, Plesk configures firewalld, at which time runtime firewalld rules are lost. To preserve the currently configured firewalld runtime rules, execute 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 firewalld or the Plesk Firewall extension.
