=======================================================================
         Installing imapsync on Ubuntu 16.04 or higher
=======================================================================

Here is  the command to install imapsync dependencies,
you need root privilege to run them.

This command installs standard Ubuntu packages:

sudo apt-get install  \
libauthen-ntlm-perl     \
libclass-load-perl      \
libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl \
libcrypt-ssleay-perl    \
libdata-uniqid-perl     \
libdigest-hmac-perl     \
libdist-checkconflicts-perl \
libencode-imaputf7-perl     \
libfile-copy-recursive-perl \
libfile-tail-perl       \
libio-compress-perl     \
libio-socket-inet6-perl \
libio-socket-ssl-perl   \
libio-tee-perl          \

libtest-nowarnings-perl \
libtest-deep-perl       \

make                    \
time                    \
cpanminus

In case you want to update the Perl module 
Mail::IMAPClient, a major module for imapsync,
the following command installs it "manually":

sudo cpanm Mail::IMAPClient

After installing the dependencies, imapsync should be working.

You don't have to be root to test and use imapsync.
Take the compressed tarball called imapsync-1.xxx.tgz
where 1.xxx is the version number. 
Untar the tarball where you want:

cd 
  tar xzvf  imapsync-1.xxx.tgz

Go into the directory imapsync-1.xxx

cd imapsync-1.xxx

A dependencies test that shows also the basic example:

./imapsync

A live test showing imapsync job:

./imapsync --testslive

Now the install command (need root priviledges again):

cp imapsync /usr/bin/

That's finished for the installation part.
You can use imapsync.

Now go to read http://imapsync.lamiral.info/#doc
start with the tutorial.
