How to Install Node.js Selector on CloudLinux April 18, 2025

To enable the Node.js Selector for your users on CloudLinux, you need to install a few essential packages. Once configured, users will be able to manage Node.js applications directly from their cPanel dashboard on eukhost hosting.

Follow the installation steps:

1. Install the Alt-Node.js Package
   Run the following command to install the Alt-Node.js group:

   yum groupinstall alt-nodejs

2. Install Required Modules
   Depending on your CloudLinux version, install the appropriate packages:
   1. For CloudLinux 8:

      yum install lvemanager lve-utils ea-ruby27-mod_passenger

   2. For CloudLinux 9:

      yum install lvemanager lve-utils ea-apache24-mod-passenger

3. (Elective but Suggested) Install CageFS
   CloudLinux suggests CageFS for better security. Install it using:

   yum install cagefs

   1. Restart cPanel Services.
      After installing the mandatory packages, restart the cPanel service to apply the changes:

      /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_cpsrvd

   2. Enable Node.js Selector in LVE Manager
      Once services are restarted:
      1. Go to WHM > LVE Manager > Options tab.
      2. Enable the Node.js Selector feature for all users.
         

Once all steps are finished, the Node.js Selector will be available in the user’s cPanel on eukhost servers, allowing them to easily manage and deploy Node.js applications.
