How to install vTiger via Softaculous

One of the ways to install vTiger is using the Softaculous auto-installer. This process is easier as it requires much less configuration and it is completed with a few clicks. We will review this process so you can get a better understanding of how it works.

Step 1 Access Softaculous

First, you need to access your cPanel account. Locate the Software/Services section and click on the Softaculous icon.

Once you access Softaculous, you will notice a list of all available scripts for free installation on the left-side of the screen. They are categorized by their functionality so it is easier to find what you need. vTiger is included in the ERP section.

When you select the vTiger script, you will be taken to a brief description for it. The page will introduce you to what vTiger does and other information about it. Just above the description, there is a list of all available options, such as a Live Demo, Screenshots, Ratings, Reviews, etc. This will help you decide if you really want to use vTiger for your website. If you do, simply click on the Install button to proceed.

Step 2 Configure vTiger

The next step of the vTiger installation through Softaculous is the most important one. This is because it will request details in orde to complete the installation per your exact needs. The first section is called Software Setup and it is regarding the actual configuration of your website:

• Choose Protocol: You need to choose the protocol for your website. NOTE: Do not choose the https protocol if you do not have a valid SSL certificate installed on your domain by the FastComet Technical Support team. This is a paid service that you can get for your domain via your Client Area store.
• Choose Domain: The domain that you will be using for your installation. If you have any addon or subdomains on your account, you will be able to choose any of them here. If not, only the primary domain of your account will be available.
• In Directory: This will specify if you would like to set your installation in a subfolder on your account or the root of your domain name, selected above. IF you want to install vTiger into the ROOT directory of your domain, leave this field blank.
