How to install EasyEngine on Ubuntu Server

EasyEngine is a Python script that automates the installation of NGINX and PHP-FPM webservers specifically for WordPress. EasyEngine will work on servers using Ubuntu or Debian.

• Note:

EEv3 will use the NGiNX installer, PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, and related services. In v4, everything in EasyEngine will be split into docker containers.

This is a script, so there will be no control panel or management interface, which requires basic knowledge of manipulation on VPS using Linux.

Install

Update packages installed on the system

apt update -y

Install EasyEngine by executing the following command, the system will automatically install the included packages and launch EasyEngine

wget -qO ee rt.cx/ee4 && sudo bash ee
