It's recommended you have a C compiler, as ikiwiki uses one to build
wrappers.
-Ikiwiki requires the [[cpan Text::Markdown]], [[cpan URI]],
-[[cpan HTML::Parser]], [[cpan HTML::Template]], and [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]]
-perl modules be installed. It can also use a lot of other perl modules, if
+Ikiwiki requires the [[!cpan Text::Markdown::Discount]] (or
+[[!cpan Text::Markdown]]), [[!cpan URI]],
+[[!cpan HTML::Parser]], [[!cpan HTML::Template]], [[!cpan YAML::XS]] and [[!cpan HTML::Scrubber]]
+perl modules be installed.
+It can also use a lot of other perl modules, if
they are available.
Various [[plugins]] use other perl modules and utilities; see their individual
documentation for details.
-### Installing dependencies with yum

-Here's an example of how to install ikiwiki's dependencies using yum

### Installing dependencies by hand
If you want to install by hand from the tarball, you should make sure that
all the perl modules are installed. This is one way to install them, using
-CPAN:
+CPAN to install modules from your local machine after you extract the ikiwiki tarball:
PERL5LIB=`pwd` PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki")'
PERL5LIB=`pwd` PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->install("Bundle::IkiWiki::Extras")'
root, you can still install ikiwiki. There are tutorials covering this for
a few providers:
