Install Ajenti control panel on CentOS 6.5

Ajenti is a simple and easy to use admin panel that can be used to manage server tasks from any web browser a bit similar to the webmin module but what really caught my attention was GUI its really nice and everyone’s gonna agree once they install and use it . The features of this admin panel can be extended by the use of plugins which can help make any task easier for a server admin .
Using this tool you can check CPU resource usages, DNS, firewall configuration, manage cron jobs, backup/recovery settings and more. All you need to do is install the relevant plug-ins and start managing your servers.
