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]],

14 Mail::Sendmail]], [[cpan Time::Duration]], [[cpan TimeDate]], [[cpan
15 HTML::Scrubber]], [[cpan RPC::XML]], [[cpan XML::Simple]], [[cpan

27 While Fedora 7 doesn't have an ikiwiki package, you can install needed
28 perl modules using this command:
30 yum install perl-Text-Markdown perl-Mail-Sendmail perl-HTML-Scrubber \
31 perl-XML-Simple perl-TimeDate perl-HTML-Template perl-CGI-FormBuilder \
32 perl-CGI-Session perl-File-MimeInfo perl-gettext
34 If you want to install from the tarball, you should make sure that the
35 required perl modules are installed, then run:
37 perl Makefile.PL # PREFIX=/dir to install elsewhere
