Before installation, ensure that you have purchased the DirectAdmin authorization. After you have purchased the authorization, the Client ID and License ID will be available, you also need to submit the IP address and system information of your VPS or server on the DA official website or the DA vendor.

Yum update-y
Yum install gcc-c ++ gcc make automake wget flex-y

2. Installation of DirectAdmin requires a clean system. Therefore, uninstall httpd, php, and mysql before installation.

Yum remove httpd * php * mysql *-y

3. Download The DirectAdmin installation script and run the following command:

Wget http://directadmin.com/setup.sh
