STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION

You can quickly install EGroupware by following below steps:

step 1:

Add EGroupware repository into source lists in order to fetch EGroupware's packages.

 vi /etc/apt/source.list.d/egroupware-epl.sources.list

For EPL Version:

#EGroupware EPL repository
deb https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@download.egroupware.org/repos/stylite-epl/DISTRO_NAME/ ./

Example:

#EGroupware EPL repository
deb https://peter:secret@download.egroupware.org/repos/stylite-epl/Debian_9.0/ ./

For Community Version:

#EGroupware Community repository
deb https://download.egroupware.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare/DISTRO_NAME/ ./

Example:

#EGroupware Community repository
deb  https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare/Debian_9.0/ ./

Replace the following variables used in above urls with your own values:
USERNAME:PASSWORD are your given credentials for EPL version.

DISTRO_NAME: Means the version of distribution you're install EGroupware on it. You can find out the right version name from following list:

DISTRO_NAME
Debian_9.0	Debian_8.0	Debian_7.0

*** if you are not sure what distribution you're running, simply execute the following command:

cat /etc/os-release

Step 2:

After adding EGroupware's repository into sources list, we need to update to fetch packages. Before doing the update we are going to make sure that we have the repository key added.

EGroupware EPL Version:

wget -O - https://USER:PASSWORD@download.egroupware.org/build%40egroupware.org | apt-key add -

EGroupware Community Version:

wget -O - -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:eGroupWare/Debian_9.0/Release.key | apt-key add -

if you're not running Debian_9.0 please see DISTRO_NAME to find out your distro specific url.

apt update

Step 3:

Now it's time to install egroupware-epl packages. Depends on the webserver you would like to use with EGroupware, you may install a webserver among the egroupware-epl packages, by default Apache will be installed.

apt install egroupware-epl

e.g. for nginx installation:

apt install nginx php-fpm egroupware-epl

follow the installation instruction as shown in following figures:

In the following instructions whenever you leave a password field empty, a randomized password gets generated which you can get access to it via egroupware-epl.log file after installation is completed.

Step 4:

You may check egroupware-epl.log file in order to check if everything went well during the installation plus you can get access to your egroupware credentials.

less /root/egroupware-epl.log

from this moment on you may get logged in to your EGroupware instance via the mentioned url in egroupware-epl.log. Although, before doing that we highly do recommend to take couple of more steps to adjust couple of settings for PHP and MyQL in order to get the best performance.
