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 5.8.8. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
8 Ikiwiki requires [[MarkDown]] and the `URI` and `HTML::Parser` perl
9 modules be installed, and also uses the following perl modules if
11 `CGI::Session` `CGI::FormBuilder` (version 3.02.02 or newer)
12 `HTML::Template` `Mail::Sendmail` `Time::Duration` `Date::Parse`,
13 `HTML::Scrubber`, `RPC::XML`, `XML::Simple`, `XML::Feed`.
15 The [[tla]] support also needs the `MailTools` perl module.
17 Various [[plugins]] use other libraries and utlities; see their individual
18 documentation for details.
20 If you're installing MarkDown by hand, note that it should be installed as
21 `Markdown.pm` somewhere in perl's module search path, or alternately as
22 `/usr/bin/markdown`. Ikiwiki will find it under either name.
24 If you want to install from the tarball, you should make sure that the
25 required perl modules are installed, then run:
27 perl Makefile.PL # PREFIX=/dir to install elsewhere
32 See [[download]] for where to get it.
