Overview
CloudLinux helps improve server stability and security by isolating user accounts and managing resource usage.
NOTE: CloudLinux is available as an add-on service for eligible unmanaged VPS and Dedicated Server plans. Installation, configuration, and ongoing management are the customer’s responsibility.

- Download the CloudLinux installation script:
wget https://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/sources/cln/cldeploy- Run the following installation script to convert into the CloudLinux OS edition:
sh cldeploy -iFor the CloudLinux OS Admin edition use the following command:
sh cldeploy -i --to-admin-edition- Reboot the server after installation completes:
rebootVerify the installation
After the server restarts, confirm that CloudLinux is installed:
cat /etc/redhat-releaseYou should see CloudLinux listed as the operating system.
Managing CloudLinux via Command Line
If you do not have a control panel (like cPanel/WHM) installed, you can manage key CloudLinux features directly from the command line:
LVE Manager
You can use the lveinfo command to monitor resource usage. For example, run lveinfo to view real-time statistics for user accounts.
PHP Selector
You can use the cloudlinux-selector command to manage PHP versions and modules. Use cloudlinux-selector –help to view available options for selecting PHP versions and extensions.
