  3. To ensure the Kolab packages have priority over the Debian packages, such as must be the case for PHP as well as Cyrus IMAP, please make sure the APT preferences pin the obs.kolabsys.com origin as a preferred source.

    Put the following in /etc/apt/preferences.d/kolab:

    Package: *
    Pin: origin obs.kolabsys.com
    Pin-Priority: 501
    
  4. Update the repository metadata:

    # apt-get update
  5. Start the installation of the base package as follows:

    # aptitude install kolab
  6. When asked to confirm you want to install the package and its dependencies, press Enter.

Continue to Kolab Groupware Setup.
