Before installation

You need to have a Fresh “blank” server installation. After that access your box using a SSH client, like PuTTY. Please run in root to avoid conflicts. Additionally, ensure that you have your QuickBox Pro API Key available, you can learn more about how to attain that in this article.

If you login to your server as sudo user, please run sudo su - to properly elevate your permissions to root. This is necessary to avoid potential permissions issues when building the database for QuickBox Pro.

Also advisable to run below code to make certain your server has gotten a full update before stating the installation!

apt-get -y update && apt-get -y upgrade && apt-get -y autoclean
apt-get -y install sudo dirmngr curl wget git net-tools iproute2
