Cypht is a free and open-source email client that lets you access all your email accounts in one place. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Cypht on Elementary OS, the latest version.
Before you get started, make sure you have:
First, we need to install Apache, PHP, and some required packages. Open the terminal application and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php php php-xml php-curl php-mbstring php-zip php-imap
Next, download the latest version of Cypht from the official website. You can use the following command to download Cypht:
wget https://github.com/jasonmunro/cypht/archive/master.zip
Extract the downloaded file and move the extracted folder to the /var/www/html directory using the following commands:
unzip master.zip
sudo mv cypht-master /var/www/html/cypht
Next, we need to configure Apache to serve the Cypht files. Open the Apache configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
<Directory /var/www/html/cypht>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Alias /cypht /var/www/html/cypht
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X and selecting Y to save the changes.
Next, enable the rewrite module and restart Apache:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo systemctl restart apache2
To finish the installation, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/cypht. You should see the Cypht login screen.
Enter your email credentials and start using Cypht to access your email accounts.
You have successfully installed Cypht on Elementary OS. You can now use Cypht to manage all your email accounts in one place.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
