AAPanel, also known as “aaPanel” or “AAPanel Hosting Control Panel,” is an open-source web hosting control panel designed to simplify the process of managing web hosting services on Linux servers. It provides a user-friendly web-based interface that allows users, particularly those without extensive technical knowledge, to manage various aspects of their web hosting environment easily.

In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of installing aaPanel on Ubuntu 24.04.

Step 1 – Download and Install aaPanel

aaPanel provides a convenient installation script that automates the installation process. Execute the following command to download the installation script:

wget https://www.aapanel.com/script/install_7.0_en.sh

Once the script is downloaded, make it executable using the following command.

chmod +x install_7.0_en.sh

Next, run the script to start the installation.

Once the script is executed, the aaPanel installation wizard will start. Follow the on-screen prompts to configure various settings. The wizard will ask you for information such as the panel username, password, and whether you want to install additional components like Nginx, MySQL, and PHP.
