Installing Softaculous in Direct Admin

SSH to your server and execute the following commands:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/plugins
wget -N http://www.softaculous.com/da/install_softaculous.php
chmod 755 install_softaculous.php
/usr/local/bin/php -d open_basedir=/ -d safe_mode=0 -d disable_functions="" /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/install_softaculous.php

The Installer will start showing the Installation Processes and when done will indicate the same. NOTE: Scripts will be downloaded during this process. The Download Activity will also be shown on the screen.

Thats it the installation of Softaculous is completed!
