remote install on debian

[Reginald]

Newbie question: is it possible to install DA on Debian from a distance? I mean: if the server is located in Europe and I'm located in another country? I would just need Debian and root access, right?

It should be a clean install of Debian with no extra software installed, only gcc and g++.

Hi Floyd, thanks for your reply!

So... If those conditions are met, can it be done remotely?

I think most of us do it remotely through ssh.

Hi Reginald

Yes, it is possible to install DirectAdmin from a remote location... However, as mentioned by others, you will need a completely base/minimal install of Debian.

Of course, you will need 'root' access to the server too.

However, I like to install these packages before I run the DirectAdmin setup...

apt-get install build-essential ca-certificates

'build-essential' will install all the needed build packages, such as g++ and gcc.
