1. Perform initial server setup

   Use the init_conf utility with --init command to provide the
   information required for initializing the server. This information
   contains:

   • Plesk Administrator’s personal information,
   • New Plesk Administrator’s password instead of the default one
     generated during installation,
   • Full host name (optional).

   For the details and examples of how to perform initial server setup
   using CLI, see:

   • For Linux: init_conf: Server
     Configuration
   • For Windows: init_conf.exe: Server Initial Configuration And
     Administrator’s Personal
     Info

2. Install product license key

   Use the license utility to install a product license key as well as
   additional license keys to the server.

   For details and examples of how to install license keys using CLI,
   see:

   • For Linux: license: License
     Keys
   • For Windows: license.exe: License
     Keys

The following operations are not required for the post-install
configuration of Plesk, but they may be useful to further configure
Plesk for your production environment.

Define Plesk View

Use the poweruser utility to switch between Plesk interface views.

For details and examples on switching Plesk interface views, see:

• For Linux: poweruser: Power User
  Mode
• For Windows: poweruser.exe: Power User
  View

The purpose and the differences of the Service Provider View and the
Power User View are described here: The Plesk
GUI.

Set Default Locale

Use admin --update -locale to set a specific language as default for
Plesk GUI.

For details and examples on configuring administrator’s interface
preferences, see:

• For Linux: admin: Administration Panel
  Preferences
• For Windows: admin.exe: Administration Panel
  Preferences

Example 1: Performing initial server setup
