### Install Cloudpanel

login to your server using your terminal with SSH

```bash
ssh root@yourIpAddress
```

Login via **SSH** to the **Server**.

now you are on the server root and the server is empty, to install the panel we need some packages to be installed first and the system to be updated.

```bash
apt update && apt -y upgrade && apt -y install curl wget sudo
```

This command will update the system packages, and add the required packages.

now you can start installing the Cloudpanel

```bash
curl -sS https://installer.cloudpanel.io/ce/v2/install.sh -o install.sh; \
echo "3c30168958264ced81ca9b58dbc55b4d28585d9066b9da085f2b130ae91c50f6 install.sh" | \
sha256sum -c && sudo bash install.sh
