Installing Webmin on Linux

Note : Get Webmin even if you are an experienced Linux user. Many examples used in this guide are based on it. Of course, you can get by without it.

What is Webmin?
Webmin is a system administration tool. It also helps you manage servers, such as Apache and MySQL. However, it assumes that all installations are done by RPM or apt-get. That is not really a setback. Even if you have forgotten the location of an installed directory, you can use whereis or locate command to get it.

Download
Download the source tarball, webmin-1.xxx.tar.gz, or rpm, webmin-1.xxx.noarch.rpm, from www.webmin.com to /home/user directory.

Preparation
The usual nag: Commands, except unpack or explicitly stated, will be issued from the source directory and you should know how to get there.

Installation
Webmin will be installed in /usr/bin directory.

Tarball Installations

Unpack # tar zxf webmin-1.xxx.tar.gz


Change to source directory # cd webmin-1.xxx
