Clear Linux is a popular and powerful Linux distribution that is focused on delivering top-notch performance and speed. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install VestaCP on Clear Linux Latest. VestaCP is an open-source control panel built to make server administration easier.
Before we proceed, ensure that you have access to root or are using a user account with sudo privileges.
The first thing to do is to ensure that your system is up-to-date. Run the following command to update your system:
sudo swupd update
To install VestaCP, which is not available in the Clear Linux repository, we need to add third-party repositories. Fortunately, VestaCP has official repositories for various Linux distributions, including Clear Linux.
We will start by installing the necessary packages:
sudo swupd bundle-add git
Next, we will clone the VestaCP repository.
git clone https://github.com/vestaCP/vesta
First, navigate to the cloned directory:
cd vesta
Next, execute the following command to install VestaCP:
sudo ./install.sh --force
The --force flag tells the installer to run despite not meeting all the requirements.
During installation, you will be prompted to provide your email address to register your domain name. If you prefer to skip this step and provide it later, type N.
After installation, you can open your web browser and navigate to your server IP address or domain name to access the VestaCP dashboard. The default username and password are admin and password—you can change them later on.
If you have a firewall enabled on your Clear Linux server, you need to adjust the settings to allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-service=https
