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 `HTML::Parser` perl module be
9 installed, and also uses the following perl modules if available:
10 `CGI::Session` `CGI::FormBuilder` (version 3.02.02 or newer)
11 `HTML::Template` `Mail::Sendmail` `Time::Duration` `Date::Parse`,
12 `HTML::Scrubber`, `RPC::XML`, `XML::Simple`, `XML::Feed`.
14 The [[tla]] support also needs the `MailTools` perl module.
16 Various [[plugins]] use other libraries and utlities; see their individual
17 documentation for details.
19 If you're installing MarkDown by hand, note that it should be installed as
20 `Markdown.pm` somewhere in perl's module search path, or alternately as
21 `/usr/bin/markdown`. Ikiwiki will find it under either name.
23 If you want to install from the tarball, you should make sure that the
24 required perl modules are installed, then run:
26 perl Makefile.PL # PREFIX=/dir to install elsewhere
31 See [[download]] for where to get it.
