Installing Usermin on Debian

If you are using the Debian package version of Usermin, first download the file from the downloads page , or run the command : wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/usermin_1.550_all.deb then run the command : dpkg --install usermin_1.550_all.deb The install will be done automatically to /usr/share/usermin.

If Debian complains about missing dependencies, you can install them with the command : apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl If you are installing on Ubuntu and the apt-get command reports that some of the packages cannot be found, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure the lines ending with universe are not commented out.

If you want to connect from a remote server and your system has a firewall installed, see this page for instructions on how to open up port 20000.
