and &#8216;Port_number&#8217; with your server&#8217;s respective IP address and SSH port number. Additionally, replace &#8216;root&#8217; with the username of the admin account if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting, you have to make sure that all Ubuntu OS packages installed on the server are up to date. You can do this by running the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get update -y\napt-get upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-install-required-dependencies\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Install-Required-Dependencies\"><\/span>Step 2: Install Required Dependencies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before going further, you will need to install some necessary packages on your server.
