Hello Onyeibo,
nobody is laughing here!
If your server runs a Debian/Ubuntu like OS, this guide is really helpful:
https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html[1]
I used it to set up my mailman3, and it worked quite well. If you have Apache instead of Nginx (like me), you must do some modifications for that.
Cheers, Eggert

Good Morning Everyone,
I installed and managed mailman 2 for about two years. I am now ready to try Mailman 3. The documentation for version 2 was lucid and this forum was quite helpful in the past.
Now I'd like to proceed with installating MM3 but I doubt my understanding of the docs. It seems to assume that users will know what to do.
Okay, don't laugh! I just want to be sure what I am doing. Does the following sequence resemble the proper steps?
- Download the source from a git repo (I understood that one)
- Create a virtual environment (venv perhaps ... not stated explicitly)
- activate the virtual environment
- from the git project root, run: ./mailman start
I know, its stupid. I had to ask. It would really build my confidence someone would confirm the above steps or counter then with something very explicit. What about process ownership? Do I need to have a unix mailman user? What else do I need to get mailman up and running before proceeding to configuration. Ahaa! I perused the config docs a bit. Where can I find the .cfg file?
I hope these questions are not too annoying.
Regards Onyeibo
