+text=(:title PmWiki Installation :)%0a(:Summary: Obtaining and installing PmWiki:)%0a(:Audience: administrators (basic) :)%0aThis page explains how to download and install PmWiki 2.1 and 2.2.  %0aHere's a list of related pages:%0a%0a* [[Requirements]] - {Requirements$:Summary}%0a* [[Upgrades]] - {Upgrades$:Summary}%0a* [[Wiki Farms]] - {WikiFarms$:Summary}%0a* [[Change Log]] -  {ChangeLog$:Summary}%0a%0a'''Improvements''' to these instructions are always appreciated.  Just report any problems you  encounter to the pmwiki-users [[mailing list(s)]] or use the [[PITS:PITS |PmWiki Issue Tracking System]].%0a%0a!! Installing PmWiki%0aIf you upgrade, please read the page [[Upgrades]] and [[Release notes]].%0a%0a!!! 1. Download%0aDownload the latest ''stable'' version of PmWiki as a%0a* zip archive ([[(http://pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/)pmwiki-latest.zip]]), or a%0a* gzipped tarball ([[(http://pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/)pmwiki-latest.tgz]]) from [[http://pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/]], or%0aDownload the latest ''beta'' version from the [[PmWiki:Subversion]] page.%0a%0a%0a!!! [[#unpack]] 2. Unpack%0aUnpack the archive ([@tar zxvf pmwiki-latest.tgz@] or [@unzip pmwiki-latest.zip@]).  This will create a ''pmwiki-x.y.z'' directory containing the PmWiki software.  For example, the current "latest" should unpack to a directory named ''{$Version}''.  The files in this directory include:%0a>>pre%3c%3c%0a  README.txt        An introductory document%0a  pmwiki.php        The main PmWiki script%0a  local/            Configuration scripts (local configuration files)%0a  cookbook/         Recipes (add-ons) from the [[(Cookbook:)Cookbook]]%0a  docs/             Brief documentation, sample configuration scripts%0a  pub/              Publicly accessible files%0a  pub/css/          Extra CSS stylesheet files '^[[PmWiki/Skins#further|#]]^'%0a  pub/guiedit/%0a  pub/skins/        Layout templates for [[http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Skins/Skins|custom]] look and feel%0a  scripts/          Scripts that are part of PmWiki%0a  wikilib.d/        Bundled default PmWiki pages%0a>>%3c%3c%0a%0aThe ''pmwiki-x.y.z'' directory needs to be placed into a location accessible by your webserver (e.g., in a ''public_html'' directory of some sort).  You can place files and directories using a number of methods -- FTP, or a Unix [@mv@] or [@cp@] command generally does the job.%0a%0a->%25note%25 Note: It is recommended to change the "''pmwiki-x.y.z''" directory name to be simply "''pmwiki''" or just "''wiki''".%0a%0a!!! [[#directories]] 3. Create directories%0a[[#dirsetup]]In most cases PmWiki will do this for you.%0aOpen a web browser to the ''pmwiki.php'' script on the server (i.e., not the one on your local computer or accessed using a [=file://...=] URL).  PmWiki will then analyze your system configuration and provide instructions (if needed) for creating the ''wiki.d/'' directory which will be used to hold the pages created for your site. %0a%0aOtherwise, there are two ways to achieve this. (Use %25newwin%25[[http://filezilla-project.org/download.php|Filezilla]] or [[http://winscp.net/eng/download.php|WinSCP]] to change FTP file/folder permissions.)%0a%0a->3a. You can create the ''wiki.d/'' directory manually, and then give it full write permissions (i.e., "[@chmod 777 wiki.d@]"). Use this method when "safe mode" is activated in the server's PHP installation.%0a%0a->3b. On some systems you can let PmWiki create ''wiki.d/'' by temporarily changing the permissions on the directory containing the ''pmwiki.php'' file to 2777.  In Unix this is commonly done by changing to the directory containing ''pmwiki.php'' and executing the command%0a%0a->@@chmod 2777 .@@%0a%0a->(note the dot at the end). The [@chmod@] command also works in many FTP programs. Creating ''wiki.d/'' in this manner will (1) make the directory writable so the web server can create the data directory it needs for the wiki files, (2) preserve group ownership of the directory so the installer account can manipulate the files created in this directory, and (3) make it more difficult for other accounts on the same server to access the files in ''wiki.d/''.%0a%0aAfter establishing directory permissions, try opening a browser to the ''pmwiki.php'' script again.  If all is well, the ''wiki.d'' directory will have been created and you'll see the default home page.%0a%0a%25red%25'''Important:''' If you used method 3b, you should reset permissions by executing "[@chmod 755 .@]" in the directory containing pmwiki.php.%25%25%0a%0aSee also [[FilePermissions]].%0a%0a[[#dirsetupend]]%0a!!! 4. Initialize%0aCheck out [[Initial Setup Tasks]] for other tasks you may want to perform to begin customizing your PmWiki installation.  You might also want to peruse the [[Release Notes]] for further information.%0a%0a%0a!!! 5. Set language%0aIf you want to use PmWiki in a different language download the [[Internationalizations|international]] language pack as zip archive ([[(http://pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/i18n/)i18n-all.zip]]) from [Line truncated
