MediaWiki Installation

Quick installation guide

For experienced users only, here is the quick version of the installation instructions. Most users will want to read the more detailed version, below.

1. Check that your system meets the minimum requirements (web server, PHP5, and either MySQL4 or Postgres 8.0).
2. Download MediaWiki (direct link to latest version) and extract the archive to a web-accessible folder on your server.
3. Point your browser to the config directory.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

These instructions are deliberately brief. There is a lot that could go wrong, so if in any doubt, you are advised to read the full instructions below!!
