2. use Parsoid/Developer setup
3. if u get http 200, u could try install php5-curl and restart all services

Hello,

I'm setting up a mediawiki on my Raspberry Pi 2, it's run the Raspbian which are based on Debian jessie. I'm stuck at the Add Wikimedia repository step, it returns this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/apt-add-repository", line 167, in <module>
    sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 105, in __init__
    self.reload_sourceslist()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 595, in reload_sourceslist
    self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)

    (self.id, self.codename))
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Raspbian/jessie

I tried changing the lsb_release to Debian and successfully add the repository but it returns this error on sudo apt-get update:

W: Failed to fetch https://releases.wikimedia.org/debian/dists/jessie-mediawiki/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

I guess my only option now is too manually install Parsoid, but I'm not sure how can I config it so that it looks like I installed it via repository. Can you help me with detail config like which directory should I install parsoid?

Thanks

it cant be done since it it doesnt have binary for arm

I assume you are trying to install Parsoid for running VisualEditor? It doesn't matter where you install Parsoid. But, Parsoid/Developer Setup might help you there. It tells you have to start Parsoid on the commandline as well as how to set up the config files (on Ubuntu/Debian) for starting the parsoid service automatically.

Parsoid could not be installed directly in Raspbian. By SSastry (WMF)suggestion, we could run it with develop version.

Here is Parsoid/Developer setup.

However, the new problem for Raspbian is Develop version need node v4.x or higher. For my raspberry, v0.10.29 is the latest version(Amazing /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~).

So the first thing is to update nodejs.

Follow the steps from Beginner’s Guide to Installing Node.js on a Raspberry Pi.

It should be noticed not every raspberry works.

The second thing is install npm.

sudo apt-get install npm

After doing these, Parsoid/Developer setup will work for Raspbian.

Although Parsoid works, restbase cannot work on my raspberry. Error is " Cannot read property 'constructor' of undefined"

How did you install parsoid for raspbian? It's impossible.
