Here you will be asked if you trust the Host, click "Accept".

At the top arrow, enter "root," be sure to use lowercase. At the bottom arrow enter your root password which you obtained via Email. Now you have successfully logged in.

After installing curl, run the following command to install the panel with the install script.

bash <(curl -s https://airnode.nl/ptero-installatie/install.sh)
