How to install Webmin tool in Ubuntu 16.04

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely. 


Note: I have used Ubuntu 16.04 running on Real Machine to run all of the experiments
Add the Webmin repository so that You can easily install and update Webmin using our package manager. I do this by adding the repository to the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
Type command in terminal -

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

You will get sources.list file in nano editor

and then add this line to the bottom of the file to add the new repository:
deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib


then pressed ctrl+o to save the file and ctrl+w to exit.
Now add the Webmin PGP key so that your system will trust the new repository:
 run this command on terminal-
wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc

then
sudo apt-key add jcameron-key.asc

after getting ok signal from command I updated the list of repository to include Webmin repositery
sudo apt-get update
Then I Installed the Webmin using command in terminal
sudo apt-get install webmin

after using this command I again stuck on previously faced dependencies problem.
as suggested by system I used command-
sudo apt-get -f install

Finally I installed the Webmin as confirmed by terminal.

Now I tried to open it on browser I got SSL error

(Sorry to not capture the screen) add the exception to the browser and  get the login screen



After login I got the dashboard like-


Now all you system administration is on web based.
