<title>Installation of <application>Postfix</application></title>
<para>Before you compile the program, you need to create users and groups that
will be expected to be in place when the install script executes. Add the
users and groups with the following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>groupadd postfix &amp;&amp;
groupadd postdrop &amp;&amp;
groupadd -g 65534 nogroup &amp;&amp;
useradd -c postfix -d /dev/null -g postfix -s /bin/false postfix &amp;&amp;
useradd -c nobody -d /home -g nogroup -s /bin/bash -u 65534 nobody &amp;&amp;
chown postfix:postfix /var/mail</command></userinput></screen>
<para>Install <application>postfix</application> by running the following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>make &amp;&amp;
sh postfix-install daemon_directory=/usr/sbin \
manpage_directory=/usr/share/man \
sample_directory=/usr/share/doc/postfix \
-non-interactive</command></userinput></screen>
<para>The final installation step is to install the program's documentation with this command:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>cp -rf html/* /usr/share/doc/postfix</command></userinput></screen>
