Part 1 - Download the Software
|
The first thing you'll need to do to get started is to download all the
needed software packages for the entire qmail installation process. To
make things easier for everyone, I've combined all the needed packages
into 1 giant tarball (.tar.gz) bundle that you can download in one easy
step. Most of the included packages are the latest versions as of
March, 2005 (there are a few intentional exceptions) and I will make
efforts keep the software bundle up to date as new versions are
released. If your going to be using the Qmailrocks installation guide
to install qmail, I would strongly reccomend that you download my
software bundle. I've included several ready-made scripts and so forth,
so everything will make more sense if you're on the same page as I am
when going through the install.
So let's start the installation by getting the needed software. You
will notice that below I create a new directory called /downloads and I
place the Qmailrocks tarball in that directory before unpacking it. I
would strongly reccomend you do this as the rest of the instructions on
this site are geared toward this source directory structure. Anyway,
lets get down to business.
mkdir /downloads
cd /downloads
Now download the Qmailrocks.org software bundle. The command below will download the bundle from the qmailrocks.org main server in Texas, USA.
wget http://www.misterjackson.com/guides/qmr/qmailrocks-slack.tar.gz
Once you've downloaded qmailrocks-slack.tar.gz, were going to place in a directory called "downloads" and then unpack it...
tar zxvf qmailrocks-slack.tar.gz
