Introduction
Install cPanel : cPanel is a popular web hosting control panel that allows users to easily manage their websites and server settings. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing cPanel on an Ubuntu Server 20.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
- An Ubuntu Server 20 instance

sudo apt install perl -y

curl -o latest -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest

sudo sh latest
The installation process may take some time. Once it’s complete, you will see a success message.
Step 7: Access cPanel
After the installation, you can access cPanel by opening your web browser and navigating to:
https://your-server-ip:2087
