Mutt is a terminal-based email client that is highly configurable and customizable. Here is a tutorial for installing Mutt on OpenSUSE latest.
Before installing Mutt, we need to install the dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command to do this:
sudo zypper install ncurses-devel openssl-devel
Now that we have the dependencies installed, we can download the Mutt source code from the official website. Open the terminal and run the following command to download the source code:
wget https://bitbucket.org/mutt/mutt/downloads/mutt-2.1.2.tar.gz
After downloading the source code, we need to extract it. Navigate to the folder where you downloaded the file and run the following command:
tar xzvf mutt-2.1.2.tar.gz
Now that we have the source code extracted, we can configure, compile, and install Mutt. Navigate to the source code folder by running the following command:
cd mutt-2.1.2
Next, run the following command to configure Mutt:
./configure --with-ssl=openssl
This command configures Mutt to use OpenSSL for TLS support. If you want to use GnuTLS instead of OpenSSL, run the following command:
./configure --with-ssl=gnutls
Once the configuration is complete, run the following command to compile Mutt:
make
Finally, run the following command to install Mutt:
sudo make install
Once the installation is complete, you can verify the Mutt installation by running the following command:
mutt -v
This command should display the version of Mutt installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mutt on OpenSUSE. Now you can start using Mutt to manage your email.
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!
