Install and update web scripts for the site

Documentation

Softaculous is a library that can be used to automatically install popular web scripts and CMS on websites.

Support of over 400 scripts

Numerous scripts for installation on VDS/VPS and dedicated server. All scripts are categorized by purpose, with descriptions and ratings.

Script updates

Softaculous helps to install popular web scripts and CMS on the website. Through the module, scripts can be updated quickly by saving a backup copy of the website files and databases. All this is implemented in a user-friendly interface, similar to the App Store and Google Play.

To deploy a small online store, you need to connect a few scripts: CRM, e-commerce web application, web analytics system, forum, questionnaire. You need to find the current version of each of them, download to the server by FTP, install and configure databases. Softaculous automates this process, saving time for other activities.

Why does a website need web scripts?

Web scripts help you quickly turn a simple web page into a fully functional website: an online store, a social network, a forum, a blog, a music or video portal. They eliminate the need to write code for multiple tasks or pay a web developer.

Examples of scripts for a website

  • Installation WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and other CMS;
  • Connecting the Gallery or Piwigo image gallery;
  • Installation of e-commerce applications. For example, PrestaShop or AbanteCart;
  • Connecting a forum or bulletin board with scripts like MyBB or Simple Machines Forum;
  • Creating your own social network, a dating website or community with Dolphin;
  • If you want to standardize customer relationships and collect sales statistics, install a CRM. For example, YetiForce.

These and 420 other scripts are easy to find, install and configure through Softaculous.
