As soon as all the files are extracted, the first installation stage finishes and the wizard of the selected software product is started.

Attention! After the installation, don’t forget to delete the bitrixsetup.php script from the root directory. This file, if accessed, may damage your site or compromise its security.

Note:

If your virtual machine is unable to access Internet for some reason, you can download the distribution package manually and upload it to the virtual machine.

To upload the package to the virtual machine, establish a secure SFTP connection with it using the parameters obtained previously (in this example, the IP address is 192.168.0.143; login: root; password: bitrix). The distribution package must be packed as a .tar.gz archive and reside in the /home/bitrix/www/ folder.

If the system detects an archive file in this folder, the Choose A Package dialog box will show the archive file name:

Click the file name to select this package and start the installation.
