Step 5: Create a new directory for Webmin by using the below command
[root@linuxhelp ~]# mkdir -p /usr/local/webmin
Step 6: Run the install script by using the below ./ command
[root@linuxhelp ~]# ./webmin-2.110/setup.sh /usr/local/webmin

Webmin is a web-based interface that allows Unix-like operating
systems and common Unix services to be easily administered.
Installing Webmin from /root/webmin-2.110 to /usr/local/webmin
****************************************************************************
Webmin uses separate directories for configuration files and log files.
Unless you want to run multiple versions of Webmin at the same time
you can just accept the defaults.
Config file directory [/etc/webmin]:
Log file directory [/var/webmin]:

Perl 5 interpreter on your system.

Webmin uses its own password protected web server to provide access
to the administration programs. The setup script needs to know :
- What port to run the web server on. There must not be another
web server already using this port.
- The login name required to access the web server.
- The password required to access the web server.
- If the web server should use SSL (if your system supports it).
- Whether to start webmin at boot time.
Web server port (default 10000):
Login name (default admin):
Login password:

Webmin has been installed and started successfully.
Since Webmin was installed outside the package manager, ensure the
following recommended Perl modules and packages are present:
Perl modules:
- DateTime, DateTime::Locale, DateTime::TimeZone, Data::Dumper
- Digest::MD5, Digest::SHA, Encode::Detect, File::Basename
- File::Path, Net::SSLeay, Time::HiRes, Time::Local, Time::Piece
- lib, open
Packages:
- openssl - Cryptography library with TLS implementation
- shared-mime-info - Shared MIME information database
- tar gzip unzip - File compression and packaging utilities
Use your web browser to go to the following URL and login
with the name and password you entered previously:
https://linuxhelp:10000
Because Webmin uses SSL for encryption only, the certificate
it uses is not signed by one of the recognized CAs such as
Verisign. When you first connect to the Webmin server, your
browser will ask you if you want to accept the certificate
presented, as it does not recognize the CA. Say yes.
Step 7: Allow default webmin port 10000 on firewall and reload the firewall by using the below commands
[root@linuxhelp ~]# firewall-cmd --add-port=10000/tcp --permanent
success
[root@linuxhelp ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
success
Step 8: Now go to the web browser and search with your IP address or domain name along with the port 10000 as shown in the below image.
Step 9: Then click Advanced and Accept the Risk and continue option to enter into the webmin console as shown in the below image.
Step 10: Now you will see the login page. Here enter the credentials username and password which was created during installation.
Step 11: This is the webmin dashboard console
Conclusion:
We have reached the end of this article. In this guide, we have walked you through the steps required to installation of Webmin on Rocky Linux 9.3. Your feedback is much welcome.
