Mailismus is open source and you can build it yourself, but it is also available as a binary package, and that is the subject of this section.
This consists of the exact same generic all-platforms ZIP described in the
Unix instructions
The only external dependency is a Java JRE (full SDK not necessary).
If not already on your system, it can be downloaded from Oracle.
The
JAVA_HOME
environment variable should ideally be set, but if it isn't, then the
java
executable must at least be on your Path.
This can be handled in the init script in step 2.1.2 below.
Mailismus is installed by simply extracting the downloaded ZIP file, which is the same generic all-platforms one used for Unix.
You can extract it wherever you want, and we shall refer to its top-level directory as
MTAHOME
for the remainder of this section.
A copy of this admin guide can be found under
MTAHOME\docs.
Unpacking the binary download into MTAHOME leaves you with a runnable bare-bones Mailismus configuration.
Mailismus can be started and stopped on Windows in a similar manner to Unix, except that we use the
mta.bat
script rather than
mta.sh
So that means:
This is identical on all platforms - see Unix instructions in section §2.1.3
