Installing Oddmuse on Clear Linux

Oddmuse is a lightweight and versatile wiki engine that is easy to install and use. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Oddmuse on Clear Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you get started, you'll need to have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

Step 1: Download and Extract Oddmuse

The first step is to download the latest version of Oddmuse from the official website. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

wget https://oddmuse.org/download/oddmuse-latest.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, extract the package by running:

tar -xzvf oddmuse-latest.tar.gz

This will extract the contents of the package to a directory named "oddmuse-latest".

Step 2: Configure and Install Oddmuse

Change to the extracted directory and run the configure script:

cd oddmuse-latest
./configure

The configure script will prompt you for some details such as the location of your Perl interpreter and the location to install Oddmuse. You can simply press Enter to accept the default values for most of the prompts.

Once the configuration is complete, install Oddmuse by running:

make install

This will install Oddmuse on your system. The default location is "/usr/local/share/oddmuse", but you can change this during the configuration process if you wish.

Step 3: Run Oddmuse

To start Oddmuse, simply run the following command in your terminal:

oddmuse

This will start the Oddmuse server and display the URL where you can access the wiki in your web browser. If you're running Oddmuse on your local machine, the URL will be "http://localhost:8080".

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Oddmuse on Clear Linux. You can now start creating and editing your wiki pages.
