hi,

i am trying to install msmtp according this tutorial: How to configure an external SMTP server in Plesk - Support Cases from Plesk Knowledge Base because i running plesk on Oracle Cloud (Shape: VM.Standard.A1.Flex). Unfortuantely Port 25 is blocked there.
So decided to use a external smtp relay and i want install and setup msmtp.

(I have tried also to add the external smtp relay credentials to postfix > main.cf, it had worked, but for some reason plesk reset the main.cf back again)

I get this Error:

root@cp:~# plesk installer add –components msmtp

ERROR: the option '--components' is required but missing
Run Plesk Installer with the 'help add -v' options for details on the options available with this command.
exit status 1

How can is solve it ?

Have you tried to run the installer without arguments? It will ask you what you want to install:

# plesk installer

The correct command is

# plesk installer add --components msmtp

What Igor said.
Be aware that windows helpfully does some autocowrecking, so if you don't have it disabled, then be careful what you're pasting into your shell.
