Repository

Setup

The simplest and best way to get Webmin is to use automatic setup-repos.sh script to configure official repositories on your RHEL or Debian derivative systems. It can be done in two easy steps:

curl -o setup-repos.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webmin/webmin/master/setup-repos.sh
sh setup-repos.sh

This script will automatically setup our repository and install our GPG keys on your system, and provide webmin package for installation and easy upgrades in the future. The supported and tested systems are Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Alma, Rocky, Oracle, CentOS Stream, Fedora or Debian, Ubuntu, Kali.

Install

If Webmin repository was setup using our setup-repos.sh as described above then Webmin can be installed as easy as:

RHEL and derivatives

dnf install webmin

Debian and derivatives

apt-get install webmin

Manual

The latest full Webmin distribution is available in various package formats for download:

rpmRed Hat Enterprise Linux, Alma, Rocky, Oracle, CentOS Stream, Fedora, openSUSE

debDebian derivatives (Ubuntu, Kali, Parrot, Pop!, Lite, Devuan)

pkgSolaris

tarFreeBSD or any other Linux distribution

  * The minimal tar version of Webmin contains only the core API and programs, and a few modules required for its basic operation. Most modules and all themes have been left out, but can be easily added later. It can be useful if you only need some of the programs functionality, and don’t want to download the entire multi-megabyte package.

Checksum Verification

To verify that you have downloaded Webmin fully and correctly, you can use the command sha256sum on the downloaded file, and compare it against those listed below:

Configure

If Webmin package was downloaded manually it can be installed:

RHEL and derivatives

dnf install ./webmin-current.rpm

Debian and derivatives

apt-get install ./webmin-current.deb

Solaris

# The root user be switched from a role account to a normal account to logins to work
rolemod -K type=normal root
# Uncompress
gunzip webmin-current.pkg.gz
# Install
pkgadd -d webmin-current.pkg

FreeBSD and any other Linux installation from source

# Change directory
cd /tmp
# Uncompress
gunzip webmin-current.tar.gz
tar xf webmin-current.tar.gz
cd webmin-current
# Install
./setup.sh /usr/local/webmin

If you installed it by specifying an installation directory parameter to setup.sh as the instructions above show, i.e. /usr/local/webmin, the original webmin-current directory can now be safely deleted.

The source package can be installed on any of the supported OS, such as FreeBSD, macOS, HP/UX, AIX, and all other flavors of Linux. However, if your system supports one of the other package formats like rpm or deb packages, it is recommended to install it from that type of package.
