# RHEL/CentOS/Alma/Rocky
sudo yum install -y curl wget git python3

Port 8090 in use — find and stop conflicting process:

sudo ss -tlnp | grep :8090
sudo kill -9 <PID>

Recent fixes

• 02.02.2026 — Plugin updates: premiumPlugin & paypalPremiumPlugin unified verification (Plugin Grants, activation key, Patreon, PayPal, AES-256-CBC encryption). Installed Plugins UI: bulk activate/deactivate, freshness badges, removed Patreon messaging from front.
• 15.11.2025 — Hardened MySQL password rotation: mysqlUtilities.changePassword now auto-resolves the backing MySQL account (user + host) even when DBUsers metadata is missing, preventing the historical [mysqlUtilities.changePassword] can only concatenate str (not "int") error. Regression tests live under Test/mysqlUtilities/, and you should restart lscpd after deploying the patch so the helper reloads.
