Installation

Martin Lake

Before you install you should review the pages: [Before you install] and [DNS] to ensure that your server is compatible (TLDR= debian stable branch with nothing installed apart from ssh server and a registered domain with A,MX,SPF and PTR records)

Download EFortikaMailServer.tar.gz from the files section and save this at a temporary location on your server e.g. /tmp/EFortikaMailServer.tar.gz
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/efortika/EFortikaMailServer.tar.gz?r=&ts=1393084770&use_mirror=master

open a terminal or logon to the console and ensure that you are logged on as root:
su root or sudo su root

once you have verified that you are logged on as root:

change to the temp directory that you downloaded the tar file to: cd /tmp

extract the tar file: tar -zxvf ./EFortikaMailServer.tar.gz

change to the extracted directory: cd ./EFortikaMailServer

ensure that the install script is executable: chmod +x ./efortika-install

run the script: ./efortika-install

Carefully follow the installer instructions and answer all questions and complete all fields.
