Installing Apple's iCal Server is fairly trivial once you know what to do. We do need to download some additional packages using apt-get, and we need to download some software using subversion. Most users will be familiar with apt-get, many with subversion. If you're not familiar with subversion, don't panic though. This guide will be a detailed, step by step howto, showing exactly which commands to enter and when. Installing Apple's iCal Server is fairly trivial once you know what to do.
