Error when 'bash hst-install.sh'


I have tried a lot of things to resolve this issue, but the error keeps popping up.

When I’m trying ‘bash hst-install.sh’, it says that ‘user admin exists’ or ‘Hestia install detected. Unable to continue.’
I want to open the hestia control panel. Is there any way I can resolve this issue?

Are you trying to install on a system thay already had HestiaCP installed? You can only install HestiaCP on a fresh OS that doesn’t already have HestiaCP installed. You will need to format and start over on freshly installed OS.

What do you mean by:

  • What action are you taking?
  • What do you expect to happen?
  • What is actually happening?

If you are installing Hestia on Ubuntu for the first time, please add the --force command after the bash hst-install.sh command. Its purpose is to force the installation and ignore the prompt. The Debian system does not require this command.

It is recommended that you configure the installation module and data here
Remember to check the --force option

After the installation is complete, use youip: 8083 can access the Hestia management end.
