The easiest way to install ikiwiki is using the Debian package.
Ikiwiki is a perl program, and needs a recent version of perl such as
5.8.8. (5.8.0 has been reported not to work).
Ikiwiki requires [[MarkDown]] and the HTML::Parser perl module be
installed, and also uses the following perl modules if available:
CGI::Session CGI::FormBuilder (version 3.02.02 or newer)
HTML::Template Mail::Sendmail Time::Duration Date::Parse,
HTML::Scrubber, RPC::XML, XML::Simple, XML::Feed.
Various [[plugins]] use other libraries and utlities; see their individual
documentation for details.
If you're installing MarkDown by hand, note that it should be installed as
Markdown.pm somewhere in perl's module search path, or alternately as
/usr/bin/markdown. Ikiwiki will find it under either name.
If you want to install from the tarball, you should make sure that the
required perl modules are installed, then run:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test # optional
make install
See [[download]] for where to get it.
