Installing Webmin in debians (e.g Ubuntu, LinuxMint) is very easy. If you have basic familiarity with any of the variant, you can install webmin without issues following the instructions given here.

Installation using .DEB file:

  • Login to your server via SSH
  • Download the .deb file from download page of Webmin’s site. The file looks like
    webmin_1.480_all.deb
  • Now run the following command:
    sudo dpkg --install webmin_.deb
  • Remember to replace the webmin_.deb with actual file name that you just downloaded. 

The install will be done automatically to /usr/share/webmin, the administration username set to root and the password to your current root password. You should now be able to login to Webmin at the URL http://localhost:10000/. Or if accessing it remotely, replace localhost with your system’s IP address.


Installation using APT repository:

If you like to install and update Webmin via APT, edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file on your system and add the line :

deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

You should also fetch and install my GPG key with which the repository is signed, with the commands :

cd /root
wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
apt-key add jcameron-key.asc

You will now be able to install with the commands :

apt-get update
apt-get install webmin

All dependencies should be resolved automatically.


You may have to unlock port 10000 in your server if you want to access webmin control panel from remote computer. Please read this article to know how to open port 10000 in your firewall.
