In order to install the AXIGEN Mail Server on Slackware, 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 AXIGEN TGZ for the Slackware architecture, type the command below in the directory where the file is located:
tar xzvf axigen-6.1.0.i386.slack.tar.gz

2. Installation

In order to install the Slackware TGZ package, you must issue (while logged in as root) the following command, from the same directory with the tgz file:
installpkg axigen-version.i386-1.tgz

For instance, the corresponding command for the 6.1 AXIGEN version will be:
installpkg axigen-6.1.0-i386-1.tgz

After the installation, no daemons or related applications are 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 Slackware, AXIGEN can be started via its initscript, by issuing:
/etc/rc.d/rc.axigen start

In order to start AXIGEN initscript at boot time, you need to add the following line in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
[ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.axigen ] && /etc/rc.d/rc.axigen start

and set the executable bit for the script:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.axigen
