1 The easiest way to install ikiwiki is using the Debian package, but you can
2 also [[download]] the source and install it by hand. Ikiwiki should work on
3 most unix-like systems.
5 Ikiwiki is a perl program, and needs a recent version of perl such as
6 5.10. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
8 Ikiwiki requires the [[cpan Text::Markdown]], [[cpan URI]],
9 [[cpan HTML::Parser]], [[cpan HTML::Template]], and [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]]
10 perl modules be installed. It can also use a lot of other perl modules, if
13 It's recommended you have a C compiler, as ikiwiki uses one to build
16 Various [[plugins]] use other libraries and utlities; see their individual
17 documentation for details.
19 The Debian packages depend on and recommend an appropriate set of packages.
21 While Fedora 7 doesn't have an ikiwiki package, you can install needed
22 perl modules using this command:
24 yum install perl-Text-Markdown perl-Mail-Sendmail perl-HTML-Scrubber \
25 perl-XML-Simple perl-TimeDate perl-HTML-Template perl-CGI-FormBuilder \
26 perl-CGI-Session perl-File-MimeInfo perl-gettext
28 If you want to install by hand from the tarball, you should make sure that
29 all the perl modules are installed. This is one way to install them, using
32 PERL5LIB=. PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki")'
33 PERL5LIB=. PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki::Extras")'
35 Then to build and install ikiwiki:
37 perl Makefile.PL # PREFIX=/dir to install elsewhere
42 See [[download]] for where to get it.
