Jitendra, It looks like you are running Ubuntu 12.04. Correct? I'm trying to install Mailman 3.0 beta 1 on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm also trying to install Postorius. Maybe my notes can be of help to you.
Florian's got a nice " 5 minute guide to get the Mailman web UI running" > which can be found here: http://wiki.list.org/x/PwDL I recommend you > take a look at that! > I took a look at that guide and it did not help me much. A big difference was that I'm working with the downloadable tarballs instead of with bazaar. These are all my notes on Mailman 3.0 beta 1 setup on Ubuntu 12.04. I don't have the Web UI (Postorious) installed yet. These notes are a work in progress. I hesitate to post them because they are not a final solution. If I finish getting Mailman 3.0 running before I give up, I'll share my final solution too. If someone else gets a final solution, please let me know. I also came across this useful tutorial: Python Ecosystem - An Introduction http://mirnazim.org/writings/python-ecosystem-introduction/ and http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/mailman3+in+virtualenv (looks old?)

I need a good tutorial on setting up the development environment, For me, it depends on whether you want to develop mm3 or install it. I want to install and run it and play with it like a user.

Thanks for the advice. I'll detail my steps in case it helps someone else. (I also have a few questions mixed in below.)

To deploy it, find, and follow, the directions which apply to any website powered by Django. However, I should warn you that Postorius is not as far along in its development as is the core parts that handle mail. In fact, at this time, there are so many things missing that you will be disappointed if you attempt to make the interface publicly visible.
