Required Software

To properly operate Vorras Mailer, the following program must first be downloaded on your server; most likely if your web site is on a UNIX server you should already have it. If you do not know whether this software is installed on your server please contact your web hosting company.

Python Programming Language - Python is free software and can be downloaded from the Python site, at http://www.python.org/download/, (Python Version 2.0 is recommended for Vorras Mailer).

You can easily check whether your machine has python installed by typing python in the UNIX shell. If it is installed, it will enter the command interpreter and you will be able to see the version. Type CTRL-D to exit the Python interpreter. If you do not have python you can follow the steps outlined below to install it on your system:

Go to http://python.org/2.2.2/ and download the Python-2.2.2.tgz file.
Once you have it on your system execute the following commands from the UNIX shell:
- gunzip Python-2.2.2.tgz
- tar xvf Python-2.2.2.tar
- cd Python.2.2.2
- ./configure
- make

The steps outlined above will install Python in the Python-2.2.2 directory. If you execute the command ./python the Python interpreter will start. If you have root access to your machine you may wish to install Python under /usr/local/bin/ or /usr/bin/. In this case login as root and after all the above steps are done execute the following command:

make install
