Let's get started with the installation!
Before installing any software, it's recommended to update the system to ensure you have the latest packages and dependencies.
To update your Clear Linux system, open your terminal and run the following command:
swupd update

Dada Mail is a Perl-based program, and Clear Linux doesn't come with Perl pre-installed. Thus we need to install Perl first. Run the following command to install Perl:

To verify whether Perl is installed or not, run:
perl -v
Dada Mail can be easily downloaded and installed on Clear Linux using the cpanminus client, which can install Perl modules and dependencies.
Run the following command to install cpanminus:
sudo swupd bundle-add cpanminus
Next, we'll install Dada Mail. Run the following command to install it:
sudo cpanm DadaMail::Installer

Now that we have installed Dada Mail, it's time to configure it.
Run the following command to start the Dada Mail installer:
sudo dadamail_install
The installer will ask you a few questions for configuration such as a database engine, database login details, and other necessary information. Follow the instructions carefully and provide the required information.
After the installation completes successfully, you can access the Dada Mail web interface using the web browser.
To access the Dada Mail web interface, open your web browser and enter the following URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi
Then, log in using the username and password you defined during the installation process.
