* You'll be in the htdocs directory by default, where public web pages are
put, so before installing ikiwiki, `cd $HOME`
* Use `wget` to [[download]] the ikiwiki tarball.
* Unpack ikiwiki.
tar zxvf ikiwiki*.tar.gz
* Use CPAN to install the perl modules it uses into your home directory:
PERL5LIB=ikiwiki:ikiwiki/cpan:. PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki")'
PERL5LIB=ikiwiki:ikiwiki/cpan:. PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->force(install => "Bundle::IkiWiki::Extras")'
(This will take a while. As long as the first command succeeds, ikiwiki will be
usable. The second command adds extra modules that some plugins use, and
installation of some of them might fail.)
PERL5LIB=ikiwiki:ikiwiki/cpan:. PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki")'
PERL5LIB=ikiwiki:ikiwiki/cpan:. PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->force(install => "Bundle::IkiWiki::Extras")'
* Now build and install ikiwiki into your home directory.
cd ikiwiki
export MAKE=gmake
perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=$HOME PREFIX=

$MAKE install
* With ikiwiki installed, you can follow the regular [[setup]] tutorial for
settng up your wiki. Make sure to set `destdir` to `/home/htdocs/` so that
the wiki is published on the web site. I recommend using git for revision
control; you can then clone your wiki's git repository as an offsite backup.
Here is an example of how I set up a wiki:
mkdir ~/wiki
cd ~/wiki
cp ~/ikiwiki/doc/ikiwiki.setup .

* Finally, you can save a _lot_ of disk space by cleaning up the ikiwiki
tarball and .cpan directory.
rm -rf ~/ikiwiki*.tar.gz ~/.cpan
