Installing Lara on the server

This guide explains how to install Lara

---

What is required:

For automatic installation of Lara prepare:

1. License key (you should have received it on the previous step).

2. Email from your Cloudflare account (the one you use to log in and where your domain is).

3. Cloudflare API Key (you should have received it earlier on this step).

Connecting to the server

Connect to your server via SSH.

If you don't have enough technical skills — don't be afraid. On the https://lara-script.gitbook.io/docs/ru/kak-ustanovit-lara/nastroika-khosting-provaidera page 10 the section explains in detail how to connect to the server through a browser if you rent a server from Hostinger.

---

Your terminal window does not necessarily have to look the same as the screenshots on that page. The window may differ depending on your operating system and the program you use to connect to the server. When connecting via the Hostinger browser terminal, the window will look like on this page in the 11.

Starting the installer

Run the command below in the terminal (copy and press Enter):

curl https://lara-script.com/api/exchanger-core/install-script | bash

---

Waiting for the installer to download

Wait for the installer to download. After that you will be prompted to choose a language.

---

Language selection

Select a language by entering 1, 2 or 3. Next you will be prompted to enter the license key.

---

Entering the license key

Enter your license key and press Enter. The installer will verify the key and display your site's domain.

---

Entering Cloudflare email

Enter the email associated with your Cloudflare account and press Enter.

---

Entering Cloudflare API Key

Enter your Cloudflare Global API Key and press Enter.

---

Copying server username and password

Wait about 30 seconds while the installer creates the server user and password. Copy and save these details, then press Enter to continue.

---

Completing the installation

Wait for the installation to finish (about 10 minutes). Then copy and save the link to the site's admin panel, the email and the password for login. After that you can open your site in a browser. Be sure to change the password after logging into the admin panel.

Note: due to DNS caching and propagation of NS records, the site may not work immediately. Full propagation takes up to 24 hours, but often completes much faster - sometimes within 15–60 minutes. You cannot influence this process; you only need to wait and periodically check the availability of the site and its admin panel.
