The beepanel command handles the work that changes the server: installing,
updating, uninstalling, and resetting the owner password. Everything else
happens in the browser. Run the commands as root on the BeePanel server. The
command line is in English in every language.
Commands

beepanel license |
Shows the installed license and trial state. |
beepanel version |

beepanel help |

beepanel daemon runs the service itself; systemd starts it, and you do not
run it by hand. beepanel without a command, --help, and -h also show
the list.
Reading the output

On a terminal the labels are colored. Set NO_COLOR=1 to turn the colors
off; output redirected to a file never has them.
License information
beepanel license prints the license state without contacting BeePanel
services: whether a trial or a perpetual license is active, the edition, the
date updates are covered through, and the enabled capabilities. It never
prints the license key.
Version information
beepanel version prints a line like this:
beepanel 1.2.0 (commit 1a2b3c4..., frontend 5d6e7f8..., built 2026-10-01T09:12:44Z)Include it when you contact support.
