SMM Panel – Installation & Setup Guide
📌 Requirements
Before starting the installation, make sure your server/PC has the following installed:
Node.js 18+ or latest LTS version
NPM
Git (optional)
MySQL/MariaDB (if required by the project)
Your SMM Panel project files
You can check Node.js and NPM versions using:
node -v
npm -v
🚀 1. Open Project Directory
Open CMD / Terminal and navigate to your SMM Panel project folder:
cd /path/to/your/project
Example:
cd C:\xampp\htdocs\smm-panel
Linux/VPS example:
cd /var/www/smm-panel
📦 2. Install Dependencies
Run the following command inside the project directory:
npm install
This will install all required Node.js packages and dependencies.
If you want to install the exact versions specified in package-lock.json, you can use:
npm ci
⚙️ 3. Configure Environment
If the project contains an environment file such as .env.example, create a .env file:
cp .env.example .env
For Windows CMD:
copy .env.example .env
Then open .env and configure your:
Database details
API keys
SMM provider API
Website URL
Application settings
Other required credentials
🗄️ 4. Database Setup
If your SMM Panel requires a database, create the required database and update the database credentials inside .env.
Example:
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=smm_panel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
Follow the project's database/migration instructions if available.
▶️ 5. Start Development Server
After installing dependencies, start the project using:
npm run dev
The terminal will show the local URL, usually something like:
http://localhost:3000
Open that URL in your browser.
🔨 6. Build for Production
For a production build, use:
npm run build
After the build is completed, start the production server using:
npm start
QuoteNote: The exact production command can vary depending on the framework used by the SMM Panel.
🔄 7. If You Modify the Project
After making changes to the source code, development mode normally updates automatically:
npm run dev
If you install a new package:
npm install package-name
Then restart the development server if required.
🧹 8. Fix Dependency Issues
If you encounter dependency or node_modules errors, remove the existing dependencies and reinstall them.
Windows CMD:
rmdir /s /q node_modules
del package-lock.json
npm install
Linux/VPS:
rm -rf node_modules
rm -f package-lock.json
npm install
Then start the project again:
npm run dev
🔍 9. Check Available NPM Commands
If you're unsure which commands the project supports, run:
npm run
This will display available scripts such as:
dev
build
start
preview
⚡ Quick Installation
For a basic setup, simply run:
cd /path/to/your/project
npm install
npm run dev
For production:
npm install
npm run build
npm start
⚠️ Important
Do not share your .env file publicly. It may contain:
Database passwords
API keys
Secret keys
Provider credentials
Other private configuration
Always keep these credentials secure.
