Pterodactyl on a VPS


Here is a detailed guide on how to install the Pterodactyl panel on your VPS.


Connect via SSH

1. Ensure you have Ubuntu installed on your VPS.

2. Connect to your VPS via SSH. You can easily do this using the program Putty.

Note: While entering your password, you won’t see what you type.


Panel + Wings Installation

1. Use the Pterodactyl installation script we’ve created:


bash <(curl -s https://files.etheron.nl/Pterodactyl/install.sh)


2. Choose your password and press Enter.

After entering your password, the terminal will show an overview of all important information. We recommend you take a screenshot of this!

Important: This password is for everything, and you’ll need it again later!

3. When prompted with "Continue with installation (Y/n)?", type y and press Enter.

The installation will now begin. This may take some time.



4. When you see Package Configuration, choose Keep the local version currently installed and press Enter.
