i-MSCP comes with an installer that allows to fully automate the installation process (or upgrade process).

The i-MSCP installer can operate in two modes:

In this mode, the installer will take care of all installation or upgrade process. At the end, all should be operational.

In order, the following tasks are done:

• The prerequired packages are installed
• The setup dialog take place
• The required packages are installed, according the choices you made through the setup dialog
• The build process take place: All required files are copied into a temporary directory /tmp/imscp
• The setup process take place: The files from the /tmp/imscp directory are copied in the system root directory and the configuration routines are run
• The required services are started/restarted

In this mode, the installer will only install the required packages, and all required file will be copied in a temporary directory /tmp/imscp.

• The prerequired packages are installed
• The Setup dialog take place
• The required packages are installed, according the choices you made through the setup dialog
• The build process take place: All required files are copied into a temporary directory /tmp/imscp

Once the process is finished, you must copy the files from the /tmp/imscp in the system root directory manually. Then, you must run the /var/www/imscp/engine/setup/imscp-reconfigure script to finalize the installation. The installer will give you the needed instructions.
