For cPanel

Installing IonCube Loaders with cPanel & WHM can be done one of two ways:

1) Using EasyApache via WHM >> EasyApache, IonCube Loaders can be selected under the Exhaustive Options List prior to compiling.

2) As the user `root` via SSH, you can run the below command to install IonCube Loaders without having to recompile Apache:

# /scripts/phpextensionmgr install IonCubeLoader

For Non-Control panel Servers

Begin by downloading the latest loaders to your system. Linux 64 bit:
