Hi,
This tutorial will guide you to successfully install and setup zPanel CP on Centos 6 VPS in simple 10 steps.
Preparation
This guide is done on a cloud vps running CentOS 6.4 64-bit. This will also work on any CentOS 6 32-bit or 64-bit but for better compatibility make sure you use at least CentOS 6.3.Also, although zPanel is very lightweight panel in regard of resource usage . but it is strongly recommended to have at least 512MB of RAM.
Install zPanel CP
Step 1 – Prepare a fresh CentOS 6 VPS. Log in to your server via SSH (use Putty or Terminal) as root.Step 2 – Now lets download the installer file by following link-
# for 64-bit use: wget https://github.com/zpanel/zpanelx/releases/download/10.1.0_orig/installer-10-1-0-centos-64.sh.x # for 32-bit use: wget https://github.com/zpanel/zpanelx/releases/download/10.1.0_orig/installer-10-1-0-centos-32.sh.x # for 64-bit use: chmod +x installer-10-1-0-centos-64.sh.x # for 32-bit use:chmod +x installer-10-1-0-centos-32.sh.x Step 4 - Also install required packages -
yum install ld-linux.so.2 curl Step5 - Finally, issue this command to start installing Zpanel - # for CentOS 64-bit:./installer-10-1-0-centos-64.sh.x # for CentOS 32-bit:./installer-10-1-0-centos-32.sh.x
You have to answer few simple questions. The process should take few minutes, so sit tight and wait till it finishes:
Step 8 – At the end of the process you’ll see all generated passwords displayed, write that down. Also, the process requires restarting your server hence you’ll automatically be logged out from your server.
Step 9 – Now open up your favorite web browser then access your server by typing its ip address. Voila, you’ll now see default zPanel login page. Use zadmin as username and use generated password (step 8 above) to login. Once logged in, you can then change default generated password to something easier to remember but make sure it still uses strong combination.

Step 10 – That’s it. Now you can do some necessary tasks in zPanel control panel area once you logged in. If you can use cPanel then you should also be able to use zPanel.
