+If you're using Debian or Ubuntu, ikiwiki is an `apt-get install ikiwiki` away.

## Decide where your wiki's files will go.
As a wiki compiler, ikiwiki builds a wiki from files in a source directory,
This wiki is powered by [ikiwiki](http://ikiwiki.info).

Note that several [[standard_wiki_pages|basewiki]] will be added to your
wiki, from files in `/usr/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/`, so your wiki will
system so you can keep track of changes and revert edits. Depending
on the revision control system you choose, the way this is done varies.
-There's little that's ikiwiki specific about these instructions; this is
-just how you put a directory under revision control using the various
-systems that ikiwiki supports. Note that the .ikiwiki subdirectory is
-where ikiwiki keeps its state, and should be preserved, but not checked
-into revision control.

-When using Git, you probably want to set up two repositories, of which
-one should be bare (meaning that it does not have a working tree
-checked out). We call the bare repository the "repository" and the
-other will be the "srcdir" (which `ikiwiki` uses to compile the wiki).
-There are [other
-ways](http://blog.madduck.net/vcs/2007.07.11_publishing-git-repositories)
-to do the following, but this might be easiest:
-
REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
- GIT_DIR=$REPOSITORY git --bare init --shared
- cd $SRCDIR
- git init
- echo /.ikiwiki > .gitignore
- git add .
- git commit -m "initial commit"
- git remote add origin $REPOSITORY
- git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master
- git push --all
-
-It is **paramount** that you **never** push to the Git repository in
-`$SRCDIR` ([this FAQ entry explains
-why](http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#head-b6a3d85f677763313159eb39f7dbf4579d4ee28b)).
-Instead, if you want to work on the wiki from a remote machine, clone
-`$REPOSITORY`, using either the `git` transport (if available), or
-`ssh`.
-
-If at any point you commit changes in `$SRCDIR`, make sure to `git
-push` them to the `$REPOSITORY`. ikiwiki will do this automatically
-for any changes made via the web.
-
-Finally, see [[Git_pitfalls]] if you experience problems.
