Installation with Nova CLI

NEW Added in Nova 2.0

Nova CLI simplifies the process of installing, updating, and troubleshooting Nova.

For best results, you should install Nova from a clean, unmodified copy of the panel. You can find instructions to undo all modifications here.

You should be running these commands as root. If you're not signed in as root, you can run sudo -i to sign in as root.

To get started, install Nova CLI with the following command:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://cli.getnova.zip)

This command will install Nova CLI as well the required dependencies.

Now, upload the ZIP file for Nova somewhere onto your server. Let's assume the ZIP file is in /root and it's named nova.zip.

Run Nova CLI like so:

nova install -z /root/nova.zip

And that's it! If everything went well, you should have Nova up and running now.

Note

If your panel is not located at /var/www/pterodactyl, you can use the -p flag to specify another panel location, like so:

nova install -z /root/nova.zip -p /srv/my-panel
