Installing MediaWikiEdit
For experienced users, here is the quick version of the installation instructions. Most users will want to go through all the passages.
- Check that your system meets the minimum requirements shown nearby; Installation requirements has more details.
- Download MediaWiki (direct link to download the stable release version) and extract the archive to a web-accessible folder on your server.
- Point your browser to the directory where MediaWiki was extracted and follow the link to the setup screen. It should be in the form
http://domain/directory/mw-config/index.php
. Replace directory with the path to your extracted MediaWiki folder. If installing on a local machine, replace domain withlocalhost
. If you install locally and later want to access your wiki from domain, then you will need to change LocalSettings.php fromlocalhost
to domain. If installed on a remote server, replace domain with your server's domain name (eg: www.myserver.com). - Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
These instructions are deliberately brief. There is a lot that could go wrong, so if in doubt, you are advised to read the full instructions!
