Webmin is a very useful utility to help administrate a Linux machine from a browser.
I normally install it as soon as I have installed the base operating system (often Centos).
The steps for installation on Centos 64 bit are below (the paths may need to be changed for a different OS).
| Step | Code | Description |
| 1 | sudo mkdir -p /opt/sw_download/webmin | Create a directory to download the software |
| 2 | sudo cd /opt/sw_download/webmin | |
| 3 | sudo yum install perl-Encode-Detect.x86_64 perl-Net-SSLeay.x86_64 | Install required software for webmin (as of 1.900) |
| 4 | sudo wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc | Download 'key' for webmin |
| 5 | sudo rpm --import jcameron-key.asc | Import key |
| 6 | sudo wget https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.900-1.noarch.rpm | Download webmin |
| 7 | sudo rpm -Uvh webmin-1.900-1.noarch.rpm |
Install webmin |
Once Webmin has been installed Open a browser and go to http://localhost:10000/
