Visit the Dada Mail website (https://dadamailproject.com/) and download the latest version of Dada Mail.
After the download is complete, use the following command to extract the downloaded file:
tar -xzf dadamail-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
Replace X.Y.Z with the version number you downloaded.
After extracting the downloaded file, we need to install Dada Mail. To do this, we need to move the extracted files to the appropriate directory.
Move the extracted files to the /var/www/html directory using the following command:
sudo mv dadamail-X.Y.Z /var/www/html
The Apache web server needs permission to access the Dada Mail files. Use the following command to change the ownership of the Dada Mail directory to the Apache user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/dadamail-X.Y.Z
We need to create a new database for Dada Mail. Log in to MariaDB using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your root password when prompted.
Create a new database for Dada Mail using the following command:

Next, create a new user account for Dada Mail with the following command:

Replace dadamail_user with your desired username and dadamail_password with your desired password.
Grant the newly created user access to the database using the following command:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dadamail_db.* TO 'dadamail_user'@'localhost';
Flush the privileges to apply the changes using the following command:

Exit MariaDB using the following command:
