In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Pepperminty Wiki on the latest version of FreeBSD.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, we need to ensure few prerequisites are in place:

• A FreeBSD latest version installed on your system
• Git should be installed to clone the repository
• Python should be installed on your system
• pip should be installed, which is a package manager for Python

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Open the terminal in FreeBSD and clone the repository. You can use the Git command to do this:

git clone https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki.git

This will clone the Pepperminty Wiki repository to your system.

Step 2: Install the Dependencies

The next step is to install the dependencies. Pepperminty Wiki requires Python 3.5 or higher version, so it is recommended to check the version installed on your system.

To install the dependencies, run the following command:

sudo pkg install py36-setuptools py36-wheel py36-pygments py36-markdown py36-mako py36-bleach py36-werkzeug py36-commonmark

This will install all the necessary dependencies for Pepperminty Wiki.

Step 3: Configure Pepperminty Wiki

After installing the dependencies, navigate to the Pepperminty Wiki directory:

cd Pepperminty-Wiki

The next step is to configure the Pepperminty Wiki. Copy the sample configuration file:

cp config.default.py config.py

Edit the config.py file to set your desired settings:

# Name of your wiki
WIKI_NAME = "My FreeBSD Wiki"

# The port number where you want to run the application
PORT = 5000

# The email address of the administrator
ADMINS = ["admin@example.com"]

Save the changes and exit the file.

Step 4: Run Pepperminty Wiki

To start the Pepperminty Wiki application, run the following command:

python3 wiki.py

You will see the output as below:

 * Loading documentation... ...done.
 * Serving Flask app "wiki" (lazy loading)
 * Environment: production
   WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment.
   Use a production WSGI server instead.

This indicates that the Pepperminty Wiki is running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/

Open the web browser and navigate to the http://0.0.0.0:5000/ to access the Pepperminty Wiki application.
