I recently started to learn about WebApps, different frameworks & after that how to deploy them.

Long story short,\
I now had the complete overview of what is what & how to configure it, deploy it, so I can see the "Hello World" written
in different languages, on my real server & not `http://localhost:SOME_RANDOM_PORT`.

So, cPanel has a utility to help you 'Register' your Python / Node.Js Apps. But, it wasn't there in my cPanel 🙁.
A quick-search showed me that many folks had this issue in the past, a very few resolved, others left as is.

But I finally figured out this & managed to get the 'Application Manager' in my cPanel. The solution that I used is not
mine but from cPanel itself, but it barely shows up on search engines.

NOTE:

* You must have root privileges.
* Access to your VPS / WHM Terminal.
* yum needs to be installed.

Solution:

* Go to your `WHM Panel` & **enable** `Application Manager` from `Feature Manager`.
  It is in `Packages` > `Feature Manager` > Click on 'default' & tick `Application Manager` if not already.

* Next, fire up your WHM terminal & enter below command -
  ```shell
  yum install ea-ruby27-mod_passenger ea-apache24-mod_env ea-nodejs10 python
  ```

  Note: `ea-nodejs10` & `python` are optional.

If you check your cPanel, you'll see the 'Application Manager' under Software. If you don't see it, try using `reboot` &
press enter in your WHM Terminal.
