Download the Exim source code, documentation and the BerkeleyDB library. Be sure to record the files' md5sums from their websites.

Verify the integrity of the downloads using md5sum.
# for f in `ls`; do md5sum $f; done |
Extract the archives.
# for f in `ls`; do echo -e "Extracting $f..."; tar -xzf $f; done |
Create any user groups and accounts necessary for the software to install and run.
