Use Control Suite to Install an App on Your Dedicated Server
Control Suite simplifies the process of installing a CMS app on a domain. It streamlines tasks like clearing out unnecessary files, downloading, extracting, and copying installation files, applying appropriate permissions and overriding the server's hosts file. The instructions below require that a domain has already been created in Plesk. Refer to How to Create a Domain. 

To Install an App on an Existing Domain
  1. Log into your dedicated server using Remote Desktop.
  2. Double click on the Control Suite icon on your desktop. If the shortcut is not available, browse to c:\netstrap\SystemControl and run NetStrap.exe via Windows Explorer.
  3. Click Login.
  4. In the Navigation Tree double click on the Plesk x.x.x (Domains) icon .
  5. Double click on the domain on which you want to install an app.
