In order to install the AXIGEN Mail Server on Debian 4.0 and Ubuntu follow these instructions:

1. Unzip installation file

Issue the following command, in the same directory as the downloaded file, to unzip the installation file:
tar xzvf <install kit file>

For example, to unpack the AXIGEN installation file for Debian architecture type the command below in the directory where the file is located:
tar xzvf axigen-6.1.0.i386.deb.tar.gz

2. Installation

In order to install the DEB package, you must issue (while logged in as root) the following command, from the same directory with the deb file:
dpkg -i axigen_version-build_i386.deb

For instance, the corresponding command for the 6.1 AXIGEN version will be:
dpkg -i axigen_6.1.0-1_i386.deb

After the installation, no daemons or related application will be started.

3. Configuration

Before you start AXIGEN, you need to configure it. You can do that automatically with the help of the AXIGEN Configuration Wizard (please refer to the Automated Configuration with AXIGEN Configuration Wizard section for more information).

More information about each configuration setting can be found in the sample configuration files installed by default, as comments.

4. Start AXIGEN

In Debian, AXIGEN can be started via its initscript, by issuing:
/etc/init.d/axigen start

These same instructions also apply to the Ubuntu distribution.
