Welcome to the forums,

apt-get install ___

also, see some other threads on the simple correction you'll have to do to trick zimbra to believe it's ubuntu 6

7.04 or 7.10?

EDIT:
"./util/utilfunc.sh: line 467: rpm: command not found"



1) edit /etc/lsb-release
change
DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.04
to
DISTRIB_RELEASE=6

Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) Install - ZimbraWiki

or

2)
edit util/utilfunc.sh
change
if [ $PLATFORM = "DEBIAN3.1" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6" ]; then
to
if [ $PLATFORM = "DEBIAN3.1" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTUUNKNOWN" ]; then

change
if [ $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6" ]; then
to
if [ $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTUUNKNOWN" ]; then

edit
util/modules/platform.sh
change
if [ $PLATFORM = "DEBIAN3.1" -o $PLATFORM = "MANDRIVA2006" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6" ]; then
to
if [ $PLATFORM = "DEBIAN3.1" -o $PLATFORM = "MANDRIVA2006" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTU6" -o $PLATFORM = "UBUNTUUNKNOWN" ]; then

they both do pretty much same thing so 1 is easier, just change it back when install finished.

Gutsy 7.10 also has /etc/debian_version but as of Tribe5 that is not picked up properly by the get_plat_tag.sh script.
mv /etc/debian_version /etc/debian_version.zimbra
perl -pi -e 's/DISTRIB_RELEASE=7/DISTRIB_RELEASE=6/' /etc/lsb-release

updated above (just posting this so you'll get an email notification)
btw 7.04 or 7.10?

Ubuntu 7.04 !

thanks your help . I will try it !

When you try to run the Zimbra install it'll show you a variety of packages that are missing. When you run apt-get install and put them it, the installation will blow up anyway unless you ALSO install perl (apt-get install perl), which is NOT listed in the missing dependencies.

At least this happened to me when I installed Zimbra on Ubuntu LCS Server 6.06. . .

I don't know how different the Ubuntu desktop installations are from Ubuntu Server, but you better be sure your DNS (bind or bind9 or external DNS solution) is configured properly, including the MX records, before you even try to install Zimbra. My experience is that if you try to fix the DNS later it's much more difficult, and Zimbra may be misconfigured, while if you get your DNS issues fixed FIRST, it'll sail right through.

Again, you're on a different version of Ubuntu than I, but you may still find some helpful pointers in this wiki article.

but I'm get other problem !
Zimbra will create any file from installation ?
