eBox Installation Guide
Installation
eBox installer
In case you want to install eBox in a new machine from scratch, we recommend you use our tailored Ubuntu installer, it will install Ubuntu Hardy, ebox packages and all its dependences automatically.
It is available here. You just need to burn it into a CD, then insert it on a CD-ROM unit and reboot your PC (Your computer BIOS must have its CD Boot option enabled).
The installation takes two steps. First, it boots from CD and starts the installation. Once it’s rebooted, you should boot from the recently installed eBox with the CD installer inside the drive to finish the process.
Ubuntu packages (stable)
If you already have an Ubuntu Hardy installed, add to your /etc/apt/sources.list this line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/ubuntu hardy main
Now we’ll run:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install "^ebox-.*"
Ubuntu packages (testing)
Test our latest packages and give us some feedback and you will be helping the project a lot. If you are up for it, go add these apt sources:
For Hardy
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox-unstable/ubuntu hardy main
For Intrepid
Yeay! We already have working packages for the current Ubuntu release!!
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox-unstable/ubuntu intrepid main
Installing from sources
If you want to install ebox from the source packages of this server, it’s recommended to read each installation instructions from INSTALL file of each module.
