Introduction
Setting up Proxmox VE can be time-consuming, especially with all the necessary post-installation configurations. To make this process faster and smoother, we’ll be using Proxmox Helper Scripts (PVE Helper Scripts). This open-source toolset provides various automated scripts to manage Proxmox repositories, disable subscription notices, and more. Let’s get started!
What are Proxmox Helper Scripts?
Proxmox Helper Scripts (PVE Helper Scripts) are community-driven tools that simplify common post-installation tasks. These scripts help save time by automating repetitive configurations such as enabling repositories, adjusting settings, and removing the subscription pop-up.

Follow these steps to install and use PVE Helper Scripts for a quick and efficient setup.
Step 1: Copy the script
At the very beginning of this tutorial we need to copy a script from the Proxmox Helper Scripts‘s website. To do this, simple open your web browser and visit this link.
For your ease I am providing the script below. If this script no longer valid or working, you’re requested to visit this link.
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/misc/post-pve-install.sh)"Step 2: Paste the script
Log in to Proxmox WebUI and paste the script into the Proxmox Shell. After pasting the script, Proxmox Helper Scripts‘ post-installation dialogue will pop up. From the dialogue box choose to install “pve-no-subscription” repository and other options as per your need.
