How to install beta/older Plesk versions

Question

How to install beta/older Plesk versions?

Answer

Note: In case Plesk is already installed on a server, only the current Plesk version and Plesk versions to which direct upgrade can be performed will be displayed. For production servers, we strongly recommend to use the latest non-testing version.

Installing old/testing Plesk release on a Linux server

Download Plesk Installer:

# wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer
Add execution permissions to Plesk Installer:

# chmod +x plesk-installer
Start Plesk installer with the --all-versions key:

# ./plesk-installer –all-versions
Proceed to the product list and select a desirable Plesk release using the numbers and start the installation.

Note: Some old Plesk releases cannot be installed on newer operating systems. To see the list of supported and unsupported OSes, visit Plesk Lifecycle Policy.

Below is the list of available Plesk releases for CentOS 7:
```
1. [*] Plesk
2. (*) Plesk Onyx 17.9.12 (testing)
3. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.11 (testing)
4. ( ) Plesk Onyx 17.9.10 (testing)

If the required Plesk release is not available in the list, do the following:
1. Exit Plesk Installer and run the following command to list all Plesk releases (including unsupported by this OS):
  
  # ./plesk-installer –show-all-releases
2. In the command below, replace $RELEASE with the release_id taken from the output above and run the command:
  
  # ./plesk-installer –select-product-id plesk –select-release-id $RELEASE –installation-type Typical
  
  For example, to install Plesk 9.5.4, run:
  
  # ./plesk-installer –select-product-id plesk –select-release-id PLESK_9_5_4 –installation-type Typical
