It is highly recommended to import the Open-Xchange build key to your package systems trusted keyring in order to make sure only Open-Xchange packages with valid signing are installed on the system. Otherwise you'll encounter warnings about untrusted package sources. To import the Open-Xchange buildkey, please refer to this quick guide: [[Importing_OX_Buildkey#Importing_key_into_apt_based_systems|Importing OX Buildkey]].
 
 
 
Reload the package index. This will download the package descriptions available at the software repositories and will enable the Open-Xchange repository as a valid source for signed packages:
 
 
 
$ apt-get update
 
 
 
The following command starts the download and installation process of all required package for Open-Xchange deployment:

You will be asked multiple times to enter a MySQL password, please do '''not''' enter a password at this point. You should enter a strong MySQL admin password for the user "mysql" after the installation has been finished. See: [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/passwords.html MySQL Reference Manual]
 
 
 
'''Important:''' Some of the scripts assume you have mysql root access from the command line, therefore the advice of "not" to enter a password. If you do, you may find problems following the instructions provided in this howto.

OX App Suite on Debian GNU/Linux 8.0

Up until now Open-Xchange has provided support for installations of OX App Suite 7.10.x on Debian Jessie. OX App Suite v7.10.x requires OpenJDK 8; OpenJDK 8 is a backport on Debian Jessie and Debian Jessie is currently in LTS (Long Term Support).

Recently we have found out that the support for this backport in Debian Jessie has now been discontinued. This means that Debian Jessie no longer supports the required OpenJDK 8.

Due to the above situation we regrettably have to inform you that support of OX App Suite v7.10.x and any future version on Debian Jessie must be discontinued from the 2019-03-31.

Open-Xchange encourages administrators to regularly update to the latest available platform releases. To ensure a stable and up to date environment please note the different versions supported. An overview of the latest supported platform release can be found in the OXpedia at: http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_System_Requirements#Linux_Distributions
