    Installation

    Open up Terminal and run the following commands, entering your password when prompted.
    Press Enter after each command.
    Accept any prompts you may receive.

    echo "deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib deb" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "http://webmin.mirror.somersettechsolutions.co.uk/repository sarge contrib" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
cd /tmp; wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc; sudo apt-key add jcameron-key.asc; cd
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install webmin

    That's it! Webmin should now be up and running.

    Usage

    By IP Address

    To find your IP address, run the following command in Terminal:

    ifconfig | grep eth -A 5 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print "IP Address: "$1}'

    Browse to that IP address using your favorite web browser, appending :10000 to the end of the address. For example:

    192.168.1.10:10000

    Note: 10000 is the default port where Webmin resides, and you must specify it to access Webmin's control panel. If you don't, you'll be accessing the built-in web server's home page, not Webmin.

    By Hostname

    You may also browse to Webmin using your Ubuntu machine's hostname.
    To find your hostname, run the following command in Terminal:

    hostname

    Note: Again, don't forget to append :10000 to the hostname in the web browser.
