Installation

Install Sentinel Firewall with these commands:

bash

wget https://github.com/sentinelfirewall/sentinel/raw/refs/heads/main/csf.tgz
tar -xzf csf.tgz
cd csf
sh install.sh

What's in that install script?

It is always a good idea to inspect scripts before running them!

Below are the contents of install.sh for your verification.

bash

#!/bin/sh

echo
echo "Selecting installer..."
echo

if [ -e "/usr/local/cpanel/version" ]; then
	echo "Running csf cPanel installer"
	echo
	sh install.cpanel.sh
elif [ -e "/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin" ]; then
	echo "Running csf DirectAdmin installer"
	echo
	sh install.directadmin.sh
elif [ -e "/usr/local/interworx" ]; then
	echo "Running csf InterWorx installer"
	echo
	sh install.interworx.sh
elif [ -e "/usr/local/cwpsrv" ]; then
	echo "Running csf CentOS Web Panel installer"
	echo
	sh install.cwp.sh
elif [ -e "/usr/local/vesta" ]; then
	echo "Running csf VestaCP installer"
	echo
	sh install.vesta.sh
elif [ -e "/usr/local/CyberCP" ]; then
	echo "Running csf CyberPanel installer"
	echo
	sh install.cyberpanel.sh
else
	echo "Running csf generic installer"
	echo
	sh install.generic.sh
fi

Verify that sentinel is properly installed with:

bash

csf --help

If Sentinel is installed correctly, you will see a printout of all available csf commands and short descriptions for each.
