In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of DadaMail on Debian Latest. DadaMail is a mailing list management system that can be used for newsletters, announcements, and discussion lists.
Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following:
Before we start installing any software, it is important to update and upgrade the packages on our system using apt package manager.
Open up the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
This will update the package list and upgrade any outdated packages on your system.
In order to install DadaMail, we need to install a few dependencies that are required for its proper functioning.
Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-perl2 libcrypt-ssleay-perl libencode-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-smtp-ssl-perl libtemplate-perl libtemplate-plugin-json-escape-perl libtemplate-plugin-gravatar-perl libtemplate-plugin-imageinfo-perl libtemplate-plugin-timeagoperl
