In this tutorial, we will walk you through the necessary steps to install Briefkasten, a mailbox simulator tool, on OpenSUSE Latest using the source code from GitHub.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
The first thing you need to do is update your system and install any necessary dependencies. Open a terminal and use the following commands to update your system and install Git:
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install git
Next, you need to clone the Briefkasten repository from GitHub. Use the following command to clone the repository to your machine:
git clone https://github.com/ndom91/briefkasten.git
This will clone the repository to your current directory.
Briefkasten requires several dependencies to function correctly. You can install these dependencies by running the following command:
sudo zypper install gcc-c++ cmake make
Once you have installed the necessary dependencies, you can build and install Briefkasten. Navigate to the directory containing the cloned repository and run the following commands to build and install Briefkasten:
cd briefkasten
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
To verify that Briefkasten has been installed correctly, run the following command:
briefkasten --version
This should print out the version number of the installed Briefkasten.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Briefkasten on your OpenSUSE Latest machine. You can now use Briefkasten to simulate email traffic and test your mail servers.
