Step-by-Step Plesk Installation Guide
Step 1: Update and Prepare the Server

For AlmaLinux / Rocky / RHEL:

For Debian/Ubuntu:

Step 2: Download and Run the Plesk Installer

Run this one-liner as root:

It launches the interactive installer (CLI-based wizard). You can:


  • Choose recommended installation (full stack)

  • Customize services (e.g., Apache/Nginx, PHP versions, etc.)

  • Install extensions (Docker, Node.js, Git, etc.)

Installation can take 15–30 minutes depending on your server and options selected.

Optional: Install with Full Stack Automatically

If you prefer a non-interactive, full install, run:

Step 3: Access Plesk

After installation, Plesk provides access credentials and URL, typically:

Login with root or admin user and set your license key.

Open Required Ports (if using firewalld)

Security Note

  • Plesk installs a self-signed SSL by default. You can replace it with a Let's Encrypt SSL via the panel.

  • Make sure your server hostname is FQDN and resolves correctly.

Post-Installation Tips

  • Add your domain(s)

  • Install the WordPress Toolkit (one-click install)

  • Enable automatic updates

  • Set up backups and fail2ban (included)

  • Use built-in Let's Encrypt to secure sites
