[MM3-users] Re: Installing mailman 3

Below is how I would recommend to run Mailman for production using a virtualenv

# useradd -r -m -d /var/lib/mailman mailman

# su - mailman

$ python3 -m venv env $ source env/bin/activate $ pip install mailman $ mailman info

Now you should have a working configuration in /var/lib/mailman/var/

to run mailman you don't need to activate the virtualenv, just use the executable /var/lib/mailman/env/bin/mailman

cheers, Simon
