sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

 Add the following at the last line of the file and then Save and Exit.

4. Then download and add Webmin's GPG key into sources.

 Run the script to update GPG key.

sudo sh setup-repos.sh

7. Once installation completed, use any internet browser and open the following link. Replacing [Your IP Address] to match your server configurations.
