In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Kolab from https://kolab.org/ on Elementary OS Latest.
Before installing Kolab, it is recommended to update your system packages to their latest versions. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Kolab requires several packages to be installed on your system before it can be installed successfully. In the terminal, run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt install apt-transport-https apt-listbugs curl gnupg software-properties-common openssl mariadb-server mariadb-client redis-server libssl-dev libmariadbclient-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libzip-dev libicu-dev libpcrecpp0v5 libkadm5clnt-mit11 libkadm5srv-mit11 libpcre++-dev
Next, we need to add the Kolab repository to our system. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo curl -Ls https://ssl.kolab.org/debian/kolab-16.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget https://obs.kolabsys.com/repositories/Kolab:/16/Debian_10/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
echo 'deb https://obs.kolabsys.com/repositories/Kolab:/16/Debian_10/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kolab.list
sudo apt-get update
After adding the Kolab repository, we can now install Kolab by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install kolab
Once the installation is complete, we need to run the Kolab setup script to configure Kolab on our system. Run the following command:
sudo /usr/sbin/kolab_bootstrap
The Kolab setup script will guide you through the configuration process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kolab on your Elementary OS Latest system. You can now use Kolab for your email, calendaring, and contact management needs.
