Install LiteSpeed Web Server from RPM

LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise Edition can be easily installed or upgraded from our CentOS repositories for CentOS and AlmaLinux systems.

If you are using LSWS with a control panel, we do not suggest installing it from our repository, as the RPM installation contains settings not customized for control panels. For cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin users, LSWS can be installed and upgraded from the control panel. LSWS can also be installed for other control panels using our command line installation.

Add the Repository

Use the following commands to add one of our repositories:

CentOS 6:

rpm -ivh http://rpms.litespeedtech.com/centos/litespeed-repo-1.1-1.el6.noarch.rpm

CentOS 7:

rpm -ivh http://rpms.litespeedtech.com/centos/litespeed-repo-1.1-1.el7.noarch.rpm

CentOS 8 or AlmaLinux 8:

rpm -ivh http://rpms.litespeedtech.com/centos/litespeed-repo-1.1-1.el8.noarch.rpm
