The easiest way to install ikiwiki is using the Debian package.
Ikiwiki is a perl program, and needs a recent version of perl such as
5.8.8. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
Ikiwiki requires [[MarkDown]] and the `HTML::Parser` perl module be
installed, and also uses the following perl modules if available:
`CGI::Session` `CGI::FormBuilder` (version 3.02.02 or newer)
`HTML::Template` `Mail::Sendmail` `Time::Duration` `Date::Parse`,
`HTML::Scrubber`, `RPC::XML`, `XML::Simple`, `XML::Feed`.
Various [[plugins]] use other libraries and utlities; see their individual
documentation for details.
If you're installing MarkDown by hand, note that it should be installed as
`Markdown.pm` somewhere in perl's module search path, or alternately as
`/usr/bin/markdown`. Ikiwiki will find it under either name.
If you want to install from the tarball, you should make sure that the
required perl modules are installed, then run:
perl Makefile.PL # PREFIX=/dir to install elsewhere
make
make test # optional
make install
See [[download]] for where to get it.
