How to install Webmin on Ubuntu 9.04 by using Ubuntu (.deb) Packages // Crucial Paradigm

Before downloading or install the .deb Webmin package run the following commands, the 1st command will install the tool wget for download packages from the internet,

sudo apt-get install wget

Before installing any packages it’s always a good idea to get a full up to date list of packages. This can be done by running the follow command,

sudo apt-get update

The next set of commands will install some perl-related libraries required by webmin,

sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

If you run into any issues running the above perl relatd commands, try running the following again,

sudo apt-get update

Now we can download the Webmin .deb package,

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.490_all.deb

Install the Debian package with dpkg, not Aptitude,

sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.490_all.deb

To access your successful install of webmin, goto https://[serverIP]:10000
