1. Copy panel2_environment.example.py to panel2_environment.py and edit it.
2. Copy panel2/panel2.conf.example to panel2/panel2.conf and edit it.
3. Run create-all.py.
4. Modify start-uwsgi.sh to fit your needs, or use panel2_environment.py as a config file for Apache mod_wsgi. Specific deployment instructions are not covered here.
5. Create an account on the application instance after it is deployed on your webserver.
6. Run promote-to-admin.py to give them admin access.
7. Add cron.py to your crontab like so:

*       *       *       *       *       (cd /home/cloudware/panel2; python cron.py minutely) &>/dev/null
*       *       *       *       *       (cd /home/cloudware/panel2; python cron.py monitoring) &>/dev/null
0       *       *       *       *       (cd /home/cloudware/panel2; python cron.py hourly) &>/dev/null
0       0       *       *       *       (cd /home/cloudware/panel2; python cron.py daily) &>/dev/null

At this point your installation is complete. Individual modules may need manual configuration (such as setting up the DNS servers and replication for the DNS module).

Cloudware has a Jobserver for running tasks using the Edia framework. We simply recommend running the Jobserver in screen, like so:

$ screen python jobserver.py

This will provide a screen session where you may monitor the performance of the Jobserver.
