Prerequisites

Step 1: Update Repositories

Before starting the installation process, it is essential to update the system repositories to ensure that you have the latest package versions. Open the terminal and run the command:

Enter your password when prompted and wait for the updates to complete.

Step 2: Install Ajenti Dependencies

Ajenti requires Python and some other dependencies to work correctly. We can install them by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo zypper install python python-Pygments python-flup python-imaging python-magic python-pyOpenSSL python-requests python-setuptools python-simplejson python-virtualenv python-werkzeug python-psutil

In addition, we also need to install the EPEL repository to download some additional dependencies:

sudo zypper install epel-release

Step 3: Install Ajenti

Now, we can proceed to download and install Ajenti using the following commands:

sudo wget http://repo.ajenti.org/debian/key -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Step 4: Start and Enable Ajenti Service

To start using Ajenti, we need to start and enable the Ajenti service. Use the following commands in the terminal:

sudo systemctl start ajenti.service

Step 5: Access Ajenti Web Interface

Once the Ajenti service is running and enabled, you can access the Ajenti web interface by opening your favorite web browser and entering the following URL in the address bar:

If you are using a remote server, replace "localhost" with the server's IP address. You should see the Ajenti login page.
