The easiest way to install ikiwiki is using the Debian package, but you can
|
|
also [[download]] the source and install it by hand. Ikiwiki should work on
|
|
most unix-like systems.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Ikiwiki is a perl program, and needs a recent version of perl such as
|
|
5.10. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
|
|
|
|
It's recommended you have a C compiler, as ikiwiki uses one to build
|
|
wrappers.
|
|
|
|
Ikiwiki requires the [[cpan Text::Markdown]], [[cpan URI]],
|
|
[[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
|
|
documentation for details.
|
|
|
|
## Debian
|
|
|
|
The Debian packages depend on and recommend an appropriate set of packages,
|
|
so just install ikiwiki using apt.
|
|
|
|
## Fedora 7
|
|
|
|
While Fedora 7 doesn't have an ikiwiki package, you can install needed
|
|
perl modules using this command:
|
|
|
|
yum install perl-Text-Markdown perl-Mail-Sendmail perl-HTML-Scrubber \
|
|
perl-XML-Simple perl-TimeDate perl-HTML-Template perl-CGI-FormBuilder \
|
|
perl-CGI-Session perl-File-MimeInfo perl-gettext
|
|
|
|
## Installing by hand
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
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")'
|
|
|
|
Then to build and install ikiwiki:
|
|
|
|
perl Makefile.PL # PREFIX=/dir to install elsewhere
|
|
make
|
|
make test # optional
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
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:
