#### **Download and run the FastPanel Installation Script:**

`wget https://repo.fastpanel.direct/install_fastpanel.sh -O - | bash -`

To install with a specific version of Mysql or MariaDB Database, run the script below first to check available versions.

**`wget https://repo.fastpanel.direct/install_fastpanel.sh && bash install_fastpanel.sh --help | grep 'Available versions'`**

You can specify the MySQL or MariaDB version or fork. Below is the example of installing FASTPANEL® with MySQL 8.0

`bash install_fastpanel.sh -m mysql8.0`

In my case, I'll be using ***`Mariadb 10.11`***

Run the the script and allow a few minutes for the process to complete.

Congratulations! **FASTPANEL** has been successfully installed and available for you at`https://server-IP:8888/`
Login: `fastuser`
Password: `yourpassword`

**`/usr/local/fastpanel2/app/updater`**

### **Part III: Uninstalling the Panel.**

The recommended option is to re-install the OS if moving to another panel.

**FASTPANEL**^® can also be uninstalled without disrupting the operation of sites. However, this will lead to consequences such as:

- Stopping automatic renewal of SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt issued through **FASTPANEL**^®.
- Disabling backup tasks previously configured in **FASTPANEL**^®.
- You will be able to change site settings, create and edit users, mailboxes, FTP/SFTP accounts, etc. only through manual configuration.

If you are certain you want to uninstall **FASTPANEL**^® and fully understand the consequences, you can do so by executing the following commands in the server console as root:

#### **Debian/Ubuntu:**

```
apt-get remove fastpanel2 fastpanel2-nginx
```

#### **CentOS/AlmaLinux/RockyLinux:**

```
yum remove fastpanel2 fastpanel2-nginx
```

That is All! Happy Hosting.
