Note: The installation may take a few minutes and will depend on the speed of your server. After it is done, the installation will display a message with the Webmin admin URL.

If the URL doesn't work, open port 10000 in your server's firewall. You can do so by running the following command: 
 

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=10000/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
