Cypht is an open-source email client which can be used to read and manage emails from different email service providers. If you are looking to install Cypht on MXLinux Latest, you can follow these simple steps.
Before you start installing Cypht, you will need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
Cypht requires an Apache web server to run. So, the first step is to install the Apache web server on MXLinux. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Once the installation is complete, you can check the status of the Apache service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status apache2
Cypht is built using PHP, so you will need to install PHP and other required PHP extensions on your system. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install php php-mbstring php-xml php-imap
The 'php-imap' extension is specifically required for Cypht to be able to access and retrieve emails from the email server.
Now, you can download the latest version of Cypht from the official website (https://cypht.org). You can download the source code or the pre-built binary package depending on your preference.
Once the download is complete, you can unzip the package and move the contents to the document root of the Apache web server. You can do this by running the following commands:
sudo unzip cypht-latest.zip -d /var/www/html/
sudo mv /var/www/html/cypht-* /var/www/html/cypht
These commands will extract the downloaded package to '/var/www/html/' directory and rename the extracted folder to 'cypht'.
To access Cypht from a web browser, you will need to configure the Apache web server to serve the Cypht files. You can do this by creating a new virtual host configuration file for Cypht.
Create a new file '/etc/apache2/sites-available/cypht.conf' and add the following content:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/cypht
<Directory /var/www/html/cypht>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/cypht_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/cypht_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
After creating the configuration file, you can enable the virtual host and reload the Apache service by running the following commands:
sudo a2ensite cypht.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2
Now that Cypht is installed and configured on MXLinux, you can access its web interface using the following URL:
http://localhost/cypht
This will take you to the login page of Cypht, where you can provide your email server details to configure it.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Cypht on MXLinux Latest.
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!
