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 the [[cpan Text::Markdown]], [[cpan URI]],
9 [[cpan HTML::Parser]], and [[cpan HTML::Template]] perl modules be
10 installed, and also uses the following perl modules if available:
11 [[cpan CGI::Session]], [[cpan CGI::FormBuilder]] (version 3.05 or newer),
12 [[cpan Mail::Sendmail]], [[cpan Time::Duration]], [[cpan TimeDate]],
13 [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]], [[cpan RPC::XML]], [[cpan XML::Simple]],
14 [[cpan XML::Feed]], [[cpan File::MimeInfo]], [[cpan Locale::gettext]]
15 (version 1.04 or newer).
17 While Fedora 7 doesn't have an ikiwiki package, you can install needed
18 perl modules using this command:
20 yum install perl-Text-Markdown perl-Mail-Sendmail perl-HTML-Scrubber \
21 perl-XML-Simple perl-TimeDate perl-HTML-Template perl-CGI-FormBuilder \
22 perl-CGI-Session perl-File-MimeInfo perl-gettext
24 Various [[plugins]] use other libraries and utlities; see their individual
25 documentation for details.
27 If you want to install from the tarball, you should make sure that the
28 required perl modules are installed, then run:
30 perl Makefile.PL # PREFIX=/dir to install elsewhere
35 See [[download]] for where to get it.
