Hestia Control Panel starts installing automatically when you log in to your VPS via SSH for the first time. The installer shows the default components and then prompts you for your admin details.
Start the Hestia CP installer
On the first screen, Hestia lists the packages it will install.
Type y and press Enter to continue.
Set administrator and server details
During the wizard, you will be asked to enter:
Administrator username and password
Email address
Hostname
If you do not have a domain name, you can press Enter at the hostname prompt to accept a default value. The installation process usually takes 10–15 minutes.
Access the Hestia web panel
After the installation finishes, press any key when prompted and the VPS will reboot.
Once the server is back online, you can access Hestia at:
https://YOUR_DOMAIN:8083
or, if you did not configure a domain:
https://YOUR_PUBLIC_IP:8083
For SSL, panel hardening, and advanced configuration, refer to the official Hestia CP documentation.
