In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Instiki, a wiki application, on Debian Latest. Instiki is a lightweight and easy-to-use wiki that can be installed on a single computer or network server.
Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following:
The first step in any installation process is to ensure that the package database is up-to-date by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Instiki is a Ruby application and requires Ruby and Rubygems to be installed. You can install both of these by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install ruby rubygems
Once Ruby and Rubygems are installed, you can install Instiki by running the following command:
sudo gem install instiki
This will install the latest version of Instiki.
To start Instiki, navigate to the directory where you want to store your wiki, then run the following command:
instiki
This will start the application and create a new wiki.
Once Instiki has started, you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost:2500
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Instiki on Debian Latest. You can now start creating and editing pages on your new wiki.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
