 The easiest way to install ikiwiki is using the Debian package.
 

+Ikiwiki is a perl program, and needs a recent version of perl such as
+5.8.8. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
+

 Ikiwiki requires [[MarkDown]] and the `HTML::Parser` perl module be
 installed, and also uses the following perl modules if available: 
 `CGI::Session` `CGI::FormBuilder` (version 3.02.02 or newer)
 `HTML::Template` `Mail::SendMail` `Time::Duration` `Date::Parse`,
 `HTML::Scrubber`, `RPC::XML`, `XML::Simple`, `XML::Feed`

+If you're installing MarkDown by hand, note that it should be installed as
+`Markdown.pm` somewhere in perl's module search path, or alternately as
+`/usr/bin/markdown`. Ikiwiki will find it under either name.
+

 If you want to install from the tarball, you should make sure that the
 required perl modules are installed, then run:
 
         perl Makefile.PL
         make
