The best part of installing ikiwiki was learning how to use git. I never used source control before but its pretty slick.

## installing git:
curl http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-(latest version).tar.gz -O
+
tar xzvf git-(latest version).tar.gz
+
cd git-(latest version)
+
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
+
NO_MSGFMT=yes make prefix=/usr/local all
+
sudo make install
+
git config --global user.name "firstname lastname"
+
git config --global user.email "email here"
+
git config --global color.ui "auto"
+
curl http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-manpages-1.7.3.1.tar.gz | sudo tar -xzC /opt/local/share/man/
## installing ikiwiki:
I had terrible trouble installing ikiwiki. It turned out I had accidentally installed Perl through ports. Uninstalling that made everything install nicely.
+
I like to install test software in /opt. No particular reason. You could install to defaults.
+
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/Library/Perl/5.10.0 LIB=/Library/Perl/5.10.0
+
perl Makefile.PL LIB=/Library/Perl/5.10.0

+
make install

sudo install -d /opt/ikiwiki

sudo install -m 0644 wikilist /opt/ikiwiki
+
sudo install -m 0644 auto.setup /opt/ikiwiki
+
sudo install -m 0644 auto-blog.setup /opt/ikiwiki
+
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.
+
## using git from inside a git folder:
+
start with git clone, then learn to do the git dance like this.
+
git pull
+
make your changes to your clone
+
git commit -a -m "message here"
+
git push
+
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.

## installing xapian:
+
download xapian and omega
+
I needed pcre: sudo ports install pcre
./configure
+
make
+
sudo make install
+
## installing omega:
+
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.
+
./configure
+
make
+
sudo make install
+
## installing Search::Xapian from CPAN
+
for some reason this wouldn't install using CPAN console so I went to CPAN online and downloaded the source.
+
perl Makefile.PL
+
make
+
make test
+
sudo make install
+
it installed without issue so I'm baffled why it didn't install from command line.
+
+
## turning on search plugin:
+
I turned on the plugin from the setup page in ikiwiki but it gave an error when I went to search. Error "blah blah cgi-bin/omega/omega" does not exist or some such. I did a
+
find / -name "omega" -print
+
and found the omega program in
+
/usr/local/lib/xapian-omega/bin/omega.
+
Then I went into the setup file and replaced the bad path, updated and badda-boom badda-bing.
+
Then I fell asleep.
