Installing on Ubuntu Linux
Be sure to follow the onscreen instructions during installation, accepting default or relevant options including any additional prompts regarding MySQL and Postfix configuration which arise during the installation process (Use Tab, Enter and Arrow Keys for Postfix Controls).
