Install Binom in Hetzner Server (10)

---

Hi everyone,

I create a Cloud Server in Hetzner with Ubuntu 18.04, But when I try to enter the server through SFTP through Cyberduck, I get an error and I cannot enter to install the Tracker, I contacted the support and they told me that I should install something else. If someone here could help me in what else should I install to be able to enter the Server I would appreciate it.

You need to connect to the server through SSH.

Depending on your desktop operation system you can use PuTTY or a terminal.

You don´t need to upload any files through FTP, the installer downloads and installs everything automatically.

HERE you can find infos how to connect to the server and how to install.

I can imagine that it sounds pretty complicated but in the end you only need to download the installer and the run it, it´s only 2 commands.

@twinaxe Can i use Ubuntu 20.04 for Binom or do you recommend Ubuntu 18.04?

---

I run Debian 10.7 minimal.

---

if you are not a techy guy that won't do anything more with that SSH console than installing Binom you could just select anything that says "minimal" and it will work.

Preferably Debian or Ubuntu (easier to manage later on)

Avoid setting up "LAMP" one, this is an instance with Linux, Apache (webserver), Mysql (database server/client) and PHP.

Binom install script handles webserver, database server/client and PHP installation itself (that's why they are asking for a "clean" server to begin with)

Yup, I also think in the end it won´t make a big difference if you use Ubuntu or Debian.

It´s more important to use a minimal installation so that the Binom installer can setup the server exactly they way the tracker needs it without any unnecessary other stuff.

Also important is to don´t use a webpanel to manage the server, add domains and stuff.

In the beginning I was also afraid to run the server only through terminal so I used Plesk.

Later I had some issues then because of Plesk so I decided to run Binom on a clean server.

Never had any issues since then (apart from own self-imposed ones ).

You also need terminal/console/PuTTY to add new domains.

But this is also nothing to be afraid of, it´s only one command and it even installs SSL certificate automatically.

@twinaxe @plutus I was able to successfully install the server. Thank you very much.

---

If I'm not wrong, Binom support also offers the option to install the tracker for you, you might want to use that

---

@twinaxe @matuloo Thanks, I was able to successfully install the Tracker.

---

Perfect! Now let's start some campaigns
