In this tutorial we’ll show you how to install and access Webmin on CentOS/Fedora and Ubuntu/Debian.
Install Webmin on CentOS/Fedora
You can download Webmin in several package formats from Webmin’s official website. We need the RPM package to install Webmin on CentOS/Fedora.
Step 1 – Before proceeding with Webmin’s installation, install the following dependencies:
1 | yum -y install perl perl-Net-SSLeay openssl perl-IO-Tty |

Step 2 – Find the latest stable Webmin release and install it using the following command:
1 | rpm -Uvh http: //downloads .sourceforge.net /project/webadmin/webmin/1 .791 /webmin-1 .791-1.noarch.rpm |
The installation is done automatically. The administration username is ‘root‘ and its password is your current ‘root‘ password.

You can also create a repository for installing Webmin. Doing it this way you will always have the latest automatic updates via repository.
Step 1 – Create a ‘/etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo‘ file:
1 | nano /etc/yum .repos.d /webmin .repo |
Put the following lines:
1 2 3 4 5 | [Webmin] name=Webmin Distribution Neutral #baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum mirrorlist=http: //download .webmin.com /download/yum/mirrorlist enabled=1 |
Step 2 – Download and install the GPG key for the package:
1 2 | wget http: //www .webmin.com /jcameron-key .asc rpm -- import jcameron-key.asc |

Step 3 – You can now install Webmin by executing:
1 | yum install Webmin |

If you want to change your Webmin password, use the following command:
1 | /usr/libexec/webmin/changepass .pl /etc/webmin root NEWPASSWORD |
Where ‘NEWPASSWORD‘ will be your new Webmin password.

Install Webmin on Ubuntu/Debian
Step 1 – Download the latest Debian package from Webmin’s official website
1 | wget http: //downloads .sourceforge.net /project/webadmin/webmin/1 .791 /webmin_1 .791_all.deb |
Step 2 – install it with the following command:
1 | dpkg -- install webmin_1.791_all.deb |
That’s all. The username is ‘root‘ and its password is your current root password.

To change the Webmin password run the following command:
1 | /usr/share/webmin/changepass .pl /etc/webmin root NEWPASSWORD |
Where ‘NEWPASSWORD‘ will be your new Webmin password.
How To Access Webmin
Webmin by default is listening on port 10000 on all Linux distributions. Open a web browser and point it to https://YOURDOMAIN.TLD:10000 , enter ‘root‘ as username and your root password and you are ready to go.

After you log in, you’ll get an easy-to-use, familiar control panel interface for configuring your web server.
