Install Webmin on Ubuntu

Webmin is a nice tool to do all server manger job in Linux/Unix based systems. You can access the webmin using any browser through https protocol from any Widows or Linux or Mac os systems.

The installation steps is very easy,

I always like to use vi or vim editior. You can use your user friendly editor.

edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list – it will let you to install and update Webmin via APT (Advance Packaging Tool).

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

Put these entries at the end of the file

deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

deb http://webmin.mirror.somersettechsolutions.co.uk/repository sarge contrib

save and exit the file.

Now you need to import GPG key so it will connect to www.webmin site to the download and save the key “jcameron-key.asc”.

wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc

sudo apt-key add jcameron-key.asc

Once you give this command – you will get OK

Now update the source-list then install the webmin respectively.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install webmin
