    cd zammad-4.1.0/
    
  3. Run the following command to install the necessary gems:

  4. Configure PostgreSQL to create a new database for Zammad:

    sudo -iu postgres

    CREATE USER zammad WITH PASSWORD 'zammad';
    CREATE DATABASE zammad_prod;
    ALTER USER zammad WITH SUPERUSER;
    GRANT ALL ON DATABASE zammad_prod TO zammad;
    \q
    exit
    
  5. Rename the sample configuration files and modify the settings as required:
