===What is Instiki?
|
||||
|
||||
Admitted, it's YetAnotherWikiClone[http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWikiClones], but with a strong focus
|
||||
on simplicity of installation and running:
|
||||
= Instiki
|
||||
|
||||
Step 1. Download
|
||||
Step 2. Run "instiki"
|
||||
Instiki is a wiki clone so pretty and easy to set up, you'll wonder if it’s really a wiki. Runs on Rails and focuses on portability and stability. Supports file uploads, PDF export, RSS, multiple users and password protection. Some use Instiki as a CMS (Content Management System) because of it's ability to export static pages.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are on Windows:
|
||||
"Step 3. Chuckle... "There's no step three!" (TM)"
|
||||
Instiki lowers the barriers of interest for when you might consider using a wiki. It's so simple to get running that you'll find yourself using it for anything -- taking notes, brainstorming, organizing a gathering.
|
||||
|
||||
You're now running a perfectly suitable wiki on port 2500
|
||||
that'll present you with one-step setup, followed by a textarea for the home page
|
||||

|

gathering.
|
||||
== Supported Platforms
|
||||
|
||||
Having said all that, if you are not on Windows, in this version of Instiki it is a somewhat different story.
|
||||
Since the author has no Linux or Mac at hand, and Instiki is moving to a SQL-based backend, this is what it takes
|
||||
to install (until somebody sends a patch to properly package Instiki for all those other platforms):
|
||||
Instiki only relies on Ruby - the sole external dependency (it includes all other dependencies). Any OS that can run Ruby can run Instiki - that includes Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and most known Unix flavors.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Kill "instiki"
|
||||
4. Install SQLite 3 database engine from http://www.sqlite.org/
|
||||
5. Install SQLite 3 driver for Ruby from http://sqlite-ruby.rubyforge.org/
|
||||
6. Install Rake from http://rake.rubyforge.org/
|
||||
7. Execute rm -f db/*.db
|
||||
8. Execute 'rake environment RAILS_ENV=production migrate'
|
||||
9. Make an embarrassed sigh (as I do while writing this)
|
||||
10. Run 'instiki' again
|
||||
11. Pat yourself on the shoulder for being such a talented geek
|
||||
12. At least, there is no step twelve! (TM)
|
||||
Instiki on BeOS, Amiga OS, OS2, Zeta OS and support for various exotic Platforms is planned. Mostly it already works, if Ruby runs there (download the linux version in this case). Please contact parasew if you want to help out for your OS that is not listed. Please also get in touch if you are able to create an instiki package for your favorite unix or linux distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== 3 easy Steps to get the Instiki experience
|
||||
|
||||
Step 1. Get Ruby, Download Instiki
|
||||
Step 2. Run "instiki"
|
||||
Step 3. Chuckle... "There's no step three!" (TM)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
== Details
|
||||
|
||||
You need at least Ruby Version 1.8.4 installed on your System. The second dependency is a Database System, but don't worry, maybe you are already served.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== If you are on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
- Get the *Ruby One-Click Installer - Windows* http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinstaller
|
||||
- double-click instiki.bat or instiki.cmd and there you go!
|
||||
|
||||
if you are running Windows 95, 98 or ME and cannot get instiki to run, try Version 0.11.pl1 which is the last instiki Version to support that old-style OS's. Please update to some Unix-OS or complain to the Ruby on Rails List at http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/3 (Rails does not support your old Windows.)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== If you are on Mac OSX
|
||||
|
||||
Since the Apple guys really screwed it up, having an old Ruby Version (1.8.2) and a broken Readline Library with MacOSX Tiger, you have to
|
||||
|
||||
- get the *One-Click Ruby Installer Package for OSX* from [ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/osx/pkgs/unix/Ruby-1.8.5-1-ub.mpkg.dmg]
|
||||
- run "ruby instiki.rb" via command-line in the directory
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== If you are on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=== Any other System
|
||||
|
||||
- get Ruby for your System, compile if nessesary: http://ruby-lang.org
|
||||
- get SQLite or compile from http://sqlite.org (you can also use mysql or any other supported database system if you want)
|
||||
- run instiki
|
||||
|
||||
You're now running a perfectly suitable wiki on port 2500 that'll present you with one-step setup, followed by a textarea for the home page on http://localhost:2500
