Step 1 - Logon as root to your new VPS

Due to the various experiences across different VPS hosting platforms, let's update the system & add in base packages before proceeding;

  sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt install -y git nano curl && sudo apt autoremove -y

Step 2 - Create a new admin user account -- Copy the below text into a local text editor on your pc/laptop e.g. notepad -- Change 'my_new_user' & 'my_new_password' for your values and paste the code to the terminal

 sudo groupadd my_new_user
 sudo useradd -p $(openssl passwd -6 my_new_password) my_new_user -m -s /bin/bash -g my_new_user -G sudo

Step 3 - Now open a new terminal session to your VPS and login with your new admin user account and complete the rest of the steps.

Step 4 - Once logged on as your new admin user - run the following commands;

- Now we clone down the install scripts repository

 cd $HOME
 git clone https://github.com/GoPlugin/plugin-deployment
 cd plugin-deployment
 chmod +x *.sh
