Hi,

today I tried to install Domino 8.0 on Ubuntu. I followed this way:

first download the isntaller tar file. unpack it with
>tar -xvf c13njen.tar

next I followed the install introductions at:

they are realy helpfull.
I am not sure if it is necessary to enable the root user. Maybe this will be an issue for Debian Server. But I am not sure - I try this later on Debian 4.0.

Also it seems ok to use an Java JRE 1.5.0_13 or higher.

Run the installer as sudo and console mode

>sudo ./install -console
At the end of the installation wizzard choose "remote setup" to setup your server remotly.

After installation has fineshed the server will automatical be started in a remote mode. So now you can setup the server.

A god discription about that steps I found here:

You need not to start the server as this was done by the installer.
So copy the java libs to your client:

• From a Windows client, copy the remote setup files CFGDOMSERVER.JAR, JHALL.JAR, and REMOTESETUP.CMD from the server to the directory you created on the client system. These files are in C:\Domino program directory on the server.
• From a UNIX workstation, copy the remote setup files CFGDOMSERVER.JAR, JHALL.JAR, and REMOTESETUP from the server to the directory you created on the workstation. These files are in /Domino program directory/lotus/notes/latest/ibmpow/ on an AIX server, /Domino program directory/lotus/notes/latest/linux/ on a Linux server, and /Domino program directory/lotus/notes/latest/sunspa/ on a Solaris server.

After that you can start a cool java setup client

• On a Windows client, enter remotesetup.cmd
  
• On a UNIX workstation, enter remotesetup

Follow the setup wizzard - and finish installation.
