Install Zentyal 4.1 on Ubuntu 14.04

In this how-to we will detail the steps required to install Zentyal 4.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. First we will need to add the Zentyal 4.1 Ubuntu Repository to our machine with the following command.

sudo echo 'deb http://archive.zentyal.org/zentyal 4.1 main extra' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zentyal.sources.list

Next to verify Zentyal packages, add the repository key to apt and make apt aware of the new software repository by issuing the following command.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 10E239FF ; wget -q http://keys.zentyal.org/zentyal-4.1-archive.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Next, we will update the apt package manager and install the meta-package Zentyal core using the commands below. Note, you must add your login user to the sudo group in order to login to the zentyal web interface.

sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install zentyal
# add user devel to sudo group
usermod -G sudo devel

The installer will ask you to provide a root password for the zentyal mysql installation as well as the port the web interface will run on. Once the installer is complete, simply navigate to https://[ip or hostname]:8443 and login to the web interface. Once logged in, you can install the packages required using the wizard.
