17 {OK} As of 2014/08/24, the [version of ikiwiki in pkgsrc](http://pkgsrc.se/www/ikiwiki) is 3.20140815.
23 Another way to install ikiwiki on Mac OS X [Snow] Leopard and Tiger is via MacPorts: <http://www.macports.org/>
25 This project ports Open Source software into Mac OS X platform.
26 It's very easy to install ikiwiki via MacPorts:
28 1.- Donwnload and install MacPorts port manager from: <http://www.macports.org/install.php> .
29 Port manager installs via Mac OS X installer. Prerequisite: XCode.
30 Se above URL for details
34 $ sudo port install ikiwiki
36 This installs ikiwiki and all of its dependencies
42 [!] As of 2014/08/24, the [version of ikiwiki in MacPorts](http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=Ikiwiki) is 3.20110608.
48 These are some notes on installing ikiwiki on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I have a three year old machine with a lot of stuff on it so it took quite a while, YMMV.
50 The best part of installing ikiwiki was learning how to use git. I never used source control before but its pretty slick.
55 cd /opt/ikiwiki/install
57 curl http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-(latest version).tar.gz -O
59 tar xzvf git-(latest version).tar.gz
61 cd git-(latest version)
63 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
65 make prefix=/usr/local all
70 git config --global user.name "firstname lastname"
72 git config --global user.email "email here"
74 git config --global color.ui "auto"
77 curl http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-manpages-1.7.3.1.tar.gz | sudo tar -xzC /usr/local/share/man/
80 ## installing ikiwiki:
81 I had terrible trouble installing ikiwiki. It turned out I had accidentally installed Perl through ports. Uninstalling that made everything install nicely.
82 I got an error on msgfmt. Turns out this is a program in gettext. I installed that and it fixed the error.
86 git clone git://git.ikiwiki.info/
90 perl Makefile.PL LIB=/Library/Perl/5.10.0
96 when you make ikiwiki it gives you a .git folder with the ikiwiki files. Stay out of this folder. You want to learn how to create a clone and make all your changes in the clone. When you push the changes ikiwiki will update. I moved a file in this folder by accident because I named my working file the same and I couldn't get into the setup page. I had apparently messed up my ikiwiki git repository. I did a pull into my clone, deleted the repository and webserver/ cgi folders and ran a new setup. Then I did a git clone and dragged all my old files into the new clone. Did the git dance and did git push. Then the angels sang.
99 ## using git from inside a git folder:
101 start with git clone, then learn to do the git dance like this.
105 make your changes to your clone
107 git commit -a -m "message here"
112 When you can't get into the setup page or you get strange behavior after a setup update the Utilities > Console app is your friend.
116 cd ../git-1.7.3.1/gitweb
118 make GITWEB_PROJECTROOT="/opt/ikiwiki/" GITWEB_CSS="/gitweb.css" GITWEB_LOGO="/git-logo.png" GITWEB_FAVICON="/git-favicon.png" GITWEB_JS="/gitweb.js"
120 cp gitweb.cgi /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/
122 cp /usr/local/share/gitweb/static/git-favicon.png /Library/WebServer/Documents/
124 cp /usr/local/share/gitweb/static/git-logo.png /Library/WebServer/Documents/
126 cp /usr/local/share/gitweb/static/gitweb.css /Library/WebServer/Documents/
128 cp /usr/local/share/gitweb/static/gitweb.js /Library/WebServer/Documents/
131 sudo chmod 2755 /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/gitweb.cgi
133 sudo chmod 2755 /Library/WebServer/Documents/git-favicon.png
135 sudo chmod 2755 /Library/WebServer/Documents/git-logo.png
137 sudo chmod 2755 /Library/WebServer/Documents/gitweb.css
139 sudo chmod 2755 /Library/WebServer/Documents/gitweb.js
142 ## installing xapian:
144 download xapian and omega
146 I needed pcre: sudo ports install pcre
157 I had a build error do to libiconv undefined symbols. sudo port deactivate libiconv took care of it. After install I had trouble with ikiwiki so I did a sudo port install libiconv and ikiwiki came back.
166 ## installing Search::Xapian from CPAN
168 for some reason this wouldn't install using CPAN console so I went to CPAN online and downloaded the source.
178 it installed without issue so I'm baffled why it didn't install from command line.
183 _ Ikiwiki setup automator.
185 _ This setup file causes ikiwiki to create a wiki, check it into revision
186 _ control, generate a setup file for the new wiki, and set everything up.
188 _ Just run: ikiwiki -setup /etc/ikiwiki/auto.setup
190 _By default, it asks a few questions, and confines itself to the user's home
191 _directory. You can edit it to change what it asks questions about, or to
192 _modify the values to use site-specific settings.
193 require IkiWiki::Setup::Automator;
195 our $wikiname="your wiki";
196 our $wikiname_short="yourwiki";
198 our $admin="your name";
199 use Net::Domain q{hostfqdn};
200 our $domain="your.domain";
202 IkiWiki::Setup::Automator->import(
203 wikiname => $wikiname,
204 adminuser => [$admin],
206 srcdir => "/opt/ikiwiki/$wikiname_short",
207 destdir => "/Library/WebServer/Documents/$wikiname_short",
208 repository => "/opt/ikiwiki/$wikiname_short.".($rcs eq "monotone" ? "mtn" : $rcs),

214 add_plugins => [qw{goodstuff websetup}],
215 disable_plugins => [qw{}],
216 libdir => "/opt/ikiwiki/.ikiwiki",
223 ## turning on search plugin:
225 I turned on the plugin from the setup page in ikiwiki but it gave an error when I went to search. Error "Error: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/omega/omega failed: No such file or directory".
226 I did a "find / -name "omega" -print" and found the omega program in "/usr/local/lib/xapian-omega/bin/omega".
228 Then I went into the 2wiki.setup file and replaced the bad path, updated and badda-boom badda-bing.
