Install from One-Click Script

Our One-Click script comes with several options and can be used with any supported operating system. Using this script, you can quickly and easily install LiteSpeed with it’s default settings.

The script includes a 15-day trial license by default. After the trial period, you can apply your own license or enter your serial number using the --license [LICENSE_NO] parameter during installation. Licenses start at $0.

Common uses

Here are two ways that lsws1clk is commonly used.

Install the following:

  • LiteSpeed Web Server
  • LSPHP
  • MariaDB
  • WordPress
  • LiteSpeed Cache plugin
bash <( curl -sk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/litespeedtech/lsws1clk/master/lsws1clk.sh ) -w

WordPress Tips

  • -W parameter will install WordPress as shown above, but it must still be configured through the wp-config.php page.
  • By default, a MariaDB database will be set up using this script. You can also specify another DB if needed.
  • If you already have a WordPress installation running on another server, it can be imported into LiteSpeed with no hassle using the --wordpresspath parameter.
  • To completely install WordPress with your LiteSpeed installation, skipping the need for the wp-config.php page, use the --wordpressplus flag. This can be used with --wpuser--wppassword--wplang, and --sitetitle to configure each of the settings normally set via wp-config.php.

Install only:

  • LiteSpeed Web Server
  • LSPHP
bash <( curl -sk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/litespeedtech/lsws1clk/master/lsws1clk.sh )
