Open Synaptic, search for 'webmin', check it, and install it.

OR

Open a terminal and run this command:


sudo apt-get install webmin

You will then be able to open webmin by going to https://yourcomputersaddress:10000

I just installed it yesterday. I had to go download the .deb package from webmin site.


mkdir /home/username/webmin
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.420_all.deb
sudo ipkg -i webmin_1.420_all.deb


This will throw an error about dependencies, but just copy the two things it wants and do an apt-get for them. I forget what they are - something about ssl and a perl module.

Then run ipkg command again.

Just a FYI :

If you get dependency errors when using dpkg, use apt-get to resolve them, the -f option will resolve them automatically :


sudo dpkg -i webmin*.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg -i webmin*.deb
