1 The easiest way to install ikiwiki is using the Debian package, but you can
2 also [[download]] the source and install it by hand. Ikiwiki should work on
3 most unix-like systems.
5 Ikiwiki is a perl program, and needs a recent version of perl such as
6 5.8.8. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
8 Ikiwiki requires the [[cpan Text::Markdown]], [[cpan URI]],
9 [[cpan HTML::Parser]], and [[cpan HTML::Template]] perl modules be
10 installed, and also uses the following perl modules if available:
11 [[cpan CGI::Session]], [[cpan CGI::FormBuilder]] (version 3.02.02 or newer),
12 [[cpan Mail::Sendmail]], [[cpan Time::Duration]], [[cpan TimeDate]],
13 [[cpan HTML::Scrubber]], [[cpan RPC::XML]], [[cpan XML::Simple]],
14 [[cpan XML::Feed]], [[cpan File::MimeInfo]], [[cpan Locale::gettext]]
15 (version 1.04 or newer).
17 The [[tla]] support also needs the [[cpan MailTools]] perl module.
19 Various [[plugins]] use other libraries and utlities; see their individual
20 documentation for details.
22 If you want to install from the tarball, you should make sure that the
23 required perl modules are installed, then run:
25 perl Makefile.PL # PREFIX=/dir to install elsewhere
30 See [[download]] for where to get it.
