Adding and Removing Plesk Components

To add or remove Plesk components, go to Tools & Settings > Updates and Upgrades.

When you select Add/Remove Components, you will be asked to provide system user credentials to proceed.

Note

You need to provide system user credentials, not those used to log in to Plesk. The user in question also must have the necessary permissions to install software. The administrator credentials you use to log in to the server via RDP should work fine here.

The image-2 icon next to a component indicates that the component is installed, and the image-3 icon indicates that it is not installed.
