## Pre-installation Preparation

- Use a clean system for installation to avoid conflicts with existing environments
- If you need to mount a data disk, complete it before installation; directory migration is not supported after installation
- Ensure the server can access the internet normally

## Start Installation

::: tip AcePanel Recommends
[LF Cloud High-Performance AMD EPYC Servers](https://www.dkdun.cn/aff/MQZZNVHQ) for installation
:::

Log in to the server as `root` user and execute:

```shell
bash <(curl -sSLm 10 https://dl.acepanel.net/helper.sh)
```

Do not close the terminal during installation.

## Installation Complete

After installation, the terminal will display the panel access address and initial account credentials:

First-time access may require trusting the self-signed certificate in your browser.

## FAQ

**Cannot access the panel**

Check the cloud server security group and firewall settings to ensure the panel port is allowed.

Use the command line tool to reset:

```shell
