Login as root and download the setup.sh file
wget https://www.directadmin.com/setup.sh
Hint: Use “fetch” instead of “wget” on FreeBSD systems.
Change permissions on the setup.sh file
chmod 755 setup.sh
Run the script
./setup.sh auto
The auto method will be best for most people. It automatically installs everything for you, including the CSF firewall.
It can also be called as ‘./setup.sh’ without options, which requires input but allows for customization.
Important: The hostname should not be the same as the primary domain name. e.g. merahost.org is not a good hostname, where server.merahost.org is. Having the same host/main domain name will cause e-mail and FTP problems. Also, please make sure the hostname resolves once you setup DNS.
Accessing the Control Panel
DirectAdmin can be accessed at http://server.ip.address:2222 — use the Admin username/password specified in the setup.txt file in your scripts directory.
