In order to install the AXIGEN Mail Server on RHEL, Fedora Core, Mandrake and SUSE follow these instructions:

1. Unzip installation file

Unzip the downloaded file by issuing the following command in the same directory as the downloaded file:
tar xzvf <install kit file>

For example, to unpack the AXIGEN RPM package for the i386 architecture type in the directory where the file is located:
tar xzvf axigen-6.1.0.i386.rpm.gcc3.tar.gz

2. Installation

In order to install the RPM package, you must issue (while logged in as root) the following command, from the same directory with the rpm file:
rpm -ivh axigen-version-build.i386.rpm

For instance, the corresponding command for the 6.1 AXIGEN version will be:
rpm -ivh axigen-6.1.0-1.gcc3-1.i386.rpm

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).

4.  Start AXIGEN

In both RedHat and SUSE, the AXIGEN server can be started via its initscript, by issuing this command:
/etc/init.d/axigen start


These installation instructions apply for all RPM based distros (RHEL, SUSE).
