Previously we’ve seen what Zimbra is<\/a>, what prerequisites must be met for its installation<\/a> and how to install and configure DNSMasq<\/a> to work with Zimbra. Finally, once we have the server prepared we can go on and continue with the installation of Zimbra Collaboration 8.6.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Download and uncompress Zimbra Collaboration<\/h2>\n

To download Zimbra we use the following command (you can find more versions to download clicking here<\/a>):<\/p>\n

sudo wget https:\/\/files.zimbra.com\/downloads\/8.6.0_GA\/zcs-8.6.0_GA_1153.UBUNTU14_64.20141215151116.tgz<\/pre>\n
And to uncompress it:<\/p>\n
sudo tar -xvf zcs-8.6.0_GA_1153.UBUNTU14_64.20141215151116.tgz<\/pre>\n
Installation of Zimbra Collaboration<\/h2>\n
At last, we have configured the server and we have downloaded and uncompressed Zimbra<\/strong>. Now we can proceed and install it. To do si, we jump into the uncompressed folder:<\/p>\n
cd zcs-8.6.0_GA_1153.UBUNTU14_64.20141215151116\/<\/pre>\n
And run the installer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If any prerequisite is missing, Zimbra will cancel the installation and will let us know which one is missing:<\/p>\n
MISSING: libaio1<\/pre>\n
If any dependency is missing, we can simply install it:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install libaio1<\/pre>\n
And restart the Zimbra installation running the same command:<\/p>\n
sudo .\/install.sh<\/pre>\n
Once we have all necessary dependencies, the installed will ask us which packages we want to install. In our case we will install all packages but “zimbra-dnscache”<\/strong> since we use DNSMasq<\/a> for this purpose.<\/p>\n

At this point, the installer will warn us that the system will be modified. We write “Y” and press enter for Zimbra to be installed. This process can take some time, so don’t worry if it stays “stuck” at one point for some minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once Zimbra is installed we will find ourselves with a Main Menu which will help us to perform the initial system configuration:<\/p>\n

The first thing we have to do is to establish the Administrator password<\/strong>. To do si we go to option 6 of the menu. We will see the submenu for the ” Store Configuration”:<\/p>\n

Select, or 'r' for previous menu [r] 4\r\nPassword for admin@mailserver.com (min 6 characters): [sm1PFMBL] CONTRASE\u00d1A<\/pre>\n

Now we go back to the previous menu by typing “r” and pressing enter:<\/p>\n
Select, or 'r' for previous menu [r] r<\/pre>\n
Finalizing the Installation<\/h2>\n
From the Main Menu we will write “a” and press enter to save the changes, and press enter twice again to save the configuration in a file. We will also be advised again that the system will be modified<\/strong> and ask if we want to continue.<\/p>\n
