If you're using Debian or Ubuntu, ikiwiki is an `apt-get install ikiwiki` away.
If you're not, see the [[download]] and [[install]] pages.
Now you can go to the url it told you, and edit pages in your new wiki
using the web interface.
-You can log in using the wiki user and password (or the openid)
-that you told it to set up earlier. That user is an admin, so you can
