Build Instructions ================== For most people, the usual: ``` ./configure make sudo make install ``` is enough. This installs Dovecot under /usr/local. When building from git, you need to run `./autogen.sh` first. If you have installed some libraries into locations which require special include or library paths, you can give them in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables. For example: `CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib ./configure` See `./configure --help` for a list of all available configure options. See [Compiling Dovecot From Sources](https://doc.dovecot.org/installation_guide/dovecot_community_repositories/compiling_source/) for more information. Running ======= Start with the example configuration: ``` cp -r /usr/local/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/* /usr/local/etc/dovecot/ ``` Read through, and make needed modifications. Once everything is configured, start Dovecot by running "dovecot" binary. See the [Online documentation](https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/) for more information about configuration. If you're in a hurry, go at least through [Quick Configuration](https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/quick_configuration/). SSL/TLS ======= Dovecot used to support both GNUTLS and OpenSSL libraries, but nowadays only the OpenSSL code is working.
