To install Blesta on an Ubuntu server using the command line, you can follow these steps:

1. First, update the package manager’s list of available packages by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update

2. Next, install the required dependencies by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql

3. After installing the dependencies, you can download the latest version of Blesta from the official website using the wget command:

wget https://www.blesta.com/downloads/blesta.zip

4. Extract the downloaded zip file using the unzip command:

unzip blesta.zip

5. Move the extracted files to the Apache document root directory by running the following command:

sudo mv blesta/ /var/www/html/

6. Change the ownership of the files to the Apache user and group by running the following command:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/blesta

7. Finally, navigate to the Blesta installation page in your web browser using the server’s IP address or domain name, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.

For example, if the server’s IP address is 192.168.1.100, you would open a web browser and go to http://192.168.1.100/blesta/install.

Make sure to secure your server when done!
