Install the Zabbix Server
Edit apt source list to add the PPA:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following items at the end of the file:
# Zabbix Application PPA
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tbfr/zabbix/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tbfr/zabbix/ubuntu precise main
Press ctrl+x to quit, enter Y to save and close the file.
Next, we need to add the PPA's key so that apt-get trusts the source:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C407E17D5F76A32B
We can now install Zabbix:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php
During the installation, you will be asked to choose a password for the MySQL root account. Note the password so that you won't forget it.
