  1. ==============
    It appears that package proftpd is already installed. This installer
    is designed to install and configure Sentora on a clean OS installation only!

    Please re-install your OS before attempting to install using this script.

    1. No Karma, it’s means proftpd is not available in CentOS 7.4 that’s why we need to install proftpd 1st and after that we can install and configure Sentora easily.

  2. I was with the same problem, so it happened to me just like Karma said above.
    What worked was to yum install epel-release -y only, and then install sentora, it worked just fine.
    Thanks for your help.
