Here's how to get ikiwiki in source or prepackaged form. See [[setup]] for
how to use it, and be sure to add your wiki to [[IkiwikiUsers]] if you use
ikiwiki.

## source

Ikiwiki is developed in a [[git_repository|git]].

The best place to download a tarball of the latest release is from 
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/ikiwiki>.

Manual installation steps and requirements are listed on the [[install]] page.

## Debian / Ubuntu packages

To install with apt, if using Debian or Ubuntu:

        apt-get install ikiwiki

Or download the deb from <http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/ikiwiki>.

There is a backport of a recent version of ikiwiki for Debian 5.0 at
<http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/ikiwiki>.

There is also an unofficial backport of ikiwiki for Ubuntu Jaunty, provided by
[[Paweł_Tęcza|users/ptecza]],
at [http://gpa.net.icm.edu.pl/ubuntu/](http://gpa.net.icm.edu.pl/ubuntu/index-en.html).

## RPM packages

Fedora versions 8 and newer have RPMs of ikiwiki available.

Ikiwiki's source includes a RPM spec file, which you can use to build your
own RPM.

## BSD ports

Ikiwiki can be installed [from macports](http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=ikiwiki)
by running `sudo port install ikiwiki`.

NetBSD and many other platforms: pkgsrc has an [ikiwiki package](ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/www/ikiwiki/README.html).

FreeBSD has ikiwiki in its
[ports collection](http://www.freshports.org/www/ikiwiki/).

## Other packages

Gentoo has an [ebuild](http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144453) in its bug database. 

The [openSUSE Build Service](http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&p=1&q=ikiwiki) has packages for openSUSE

A [PKGBUILD for Arch Linux](http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12284) is in the AUR.

slightly more consistent capitalisation of ikiwiki For a while, I was avoiding capitalizing ikiwiki at the beginning of a sentence. I now think that's a bad idea (unless explicitly referring to the `ikiwiki` command). Still, I don't go all the way and always cap it, as a proper noun. That would make the logo look bad. ;) I also tend to avoid capping it as IkiWiki, except when referring to the perl internals, which do use that capitalization. (Too late to change that.) However, it's also reasonable to do so in a WikiLink, as a nod to historical camelcase wikis. 2010-04-03 22:07:32 +02:00			`Ikiwiki can be installed [from macports](http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=ikiwiki)`
