Getting Hestia installation script

Log in to your server as root, either directly or via SSH to install HestiaCP with 3 easy steps:

ssh root@your.server
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/release/install/hst-install.sh
bash hst-install.sh

Then Hestiacp is available on https://hostname.com:8083 and https://public.ip:8083

Note

If your not root, the whole process can fail!

Requirements
