Dada Mail is a powerful, open-source email marketing software that allows users to create, manage, and send mass email campaigns. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Dada Mail on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we can install Dada Mail, we need to make sure that Perl, a required dependency, is installed on our system. To check if Perl is installed, run the following command:

Now that Perl is installed, we can download the latest version of Dada Mail from the official website.
cd /usr/local/www/
fetch https://dadamailproject.com/d/install_dada_mail.psgi
Unzip the downloaded file, change the permissions on the dada_mail_x.x.x directory, and start the installation script.
tar xvzf install_dada_mail.psgi
chmod -R 755 dada_mail_x.x.x
cd dada_mail_x.x.x
./bin/dada_mail_install.pl
Follow the prompts and enter the required information to complete the installation.
To access Dada Mail, we need to set up a virtual host in Apache.
nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf

ServerName yourdomain.com
ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8080/$1 [P,QSA,L]
