Perform initial server setup

Use the init_conf utility with --init command to provide the
information required for initializing the server. This information
contains:
- Plesk Administrator’s personal information,
- New Plesk Administrator’s password instead of the default one
  generated during installation,
- Full host name (optional).
For the details and examples of how to perform initial server setup
using CLI, see:
- For Linux: init_conf: Server
  Configuration
- For Windows: init_conf.exe: Server Initial Configuration And
  Administrator’s Personal
  Info
Install product license key

Use the license utility to install a product license key as well as
additional license keys to the server.

For details and examples of how to install license keys using CLI,
see:
- For Linux: license: License
  Keys
- For Windows: license.exe: License
  Keys

The following operations are not required for the post-install
configuration of Plesk, but they may be useful to further configure
Plesk for your production environment.

Define Plesk View

Use the poweruser utility to switch between Plesk interface views.

For details and examples on switching Plesk interface views, see:

For Linux: poweruser: Power User
Mode
For Windows: poweruser.exe: Power User
View

The purpose and the differences of the Service Provider View and the
Power User View are described here: The Plesk
GUI.

Set Default Locale

Use admin --update -locale to set a specific language as default for
Plesk GUI.

For details and examples on configuring administrator’s interface
preferences, see:

For Linux: admin: Administration Panel
Preferences
For Windows: admin.exe: Administration Panel
Preferences
