This page documents how to install ikiwiki if a prepackaged version is not
|
|
|
|
available for your distribution, and you are faced with [[downloading|download]]
|
|
|
|
the source and installing by hand. Ikiwiki should work on most unix-like
|
|
|
|
systems.

Ikiwiki is a perl program, and needs a recent version of perl such as
|
2008-05-05 20:51:26 +02:00
|
|
|
5.10. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
|

|
|
|
|
2008-05-06 01:08:47 +02:00
|
|
|
It's recommended you have a C compiler, as ikiwiki uses one to build
|
|
|
|
wrappers.

Ikiwiki requires the [[cpan Text::Markdown]], [[cpan URI]],
|
2008-02-13 19:17:07 +01:00
|
|
|
[[cpan HTML::Parser]], [[cpan HTML::Template]], and [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]]

perl modules be installed. It can also use a lot of other perl modules, if
|
|
|
|
they are available.

Various [[plugins]] use other perl modules and utilities; see their individual

### installing dependencies with yum
|
2008-05-06 01:08:47 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2008-07-12 16:25:20 +02:00
|
|
|
Here's an example of how to install ikiwiki's dependencies using yum
|
|
|
|
on Fedora 7:
|
2007-09-10 06:19:07 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
yum install perl-Text-Markdown perl-Mail-Sendmail perl-HTML-Scrubber \
|
|
|
|
perl-XML-Simple perl-TimeDate perl-HTML-Template perl-CGI-FormBuilder \
|
2008-05-29 21:17:19 +02:00
|
|
|
perl-CGI-Session perl-File-MimeInfo perl-gettext perl-Authen-Passphrase
|
2007-09-10 06:19:07 +02:00

|
|
2008-07-12 16:25:20 +02:00
|
|
|
### installing dependencies by hand
|
2008-05-06 01:08:47 +02:00
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
If you want to install by hand from the tarball, you should make sure that
|
|
|
|
all the perl modules are installed. This is one way to install them, using
|
|
|
|
CPAN:
|
|
|
|
|
2008-05-06 02:12:06 +02:00
|
|
|
PERL5LIB=`pwd` PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki")'
|
|
|
|
PERL5LIB=`pwd` PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki::Extras")'
|
2008-05-05 20:51:26 +02:00

## installing ikiwiki by hand
|
|
|
|
|
2008-05-05 20:51:26 +02:00
|
|
|
Then to build and install ikiwiki:
|
2006-10-28 01:48:38 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2006-11-20 12:31:23 +01:00
|
|
|
perl Makefile.PL # PREFIX=/dir to install elsewhere
|
|
|
|
make
|
2006-10-28 01:48:38 +02:00
|
|
|
make test # optional
|
2006-11-20 12:31:23 +01:00
|
|
|
make install
|
2006-10-28 01:48:38 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2008-05-06 01:08:47 +02:00
|
|
|
If you're using a shared hosting provider, of the sort where you don't have
|
|
|
|
root, you can still install ikiwiki. There are tutorials covering this for
|
|
|
|
a few providers:
