In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install TWiki on FreeBSD latest. TWiki is an open-source web-based collaboration platform that offers a structured wiki, document management, search, and more.
Before installing TWiki, you need to fulfill the following prerequisites:
To download TWiki, visit the official website at https://twiki.org/ and select the latest stable release. Once the download is complete, save the file to a directory of your choice.
$ cd /usr/local/src
$ wget https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/DownloadTWiki/TWiki-6.1.0.tar.gz
After the download is complete, extract the TWiki file using the following command:
$ tar xzvf TWiki-6.1.0.tar.gz
This will create a new directory named TWiki-6.1.0.
Move to the newly extracted directory and run the configure script to configure TWiki.
$ cd TWiki-6.1.0
$ ./configure
The script will prompt you to answer a few questions, such as the location of the Perl executable and the Apache directory. The default options are fine for most cases.
Once the configuration is complete, you will see a confirmation message similar to the following:
TWiki will be installed in these directories:
/usr/local/lib/twiki
/var/www/twiki
Are these paths correct? [Y/n]
Enter Y to confirm.
To install TWiki, run the following command:
$ ./tools/twiki_install.pl
The script will prompt you to enter some information, such as the administrator name, email, and password.
Once the installation is complete, you will see a confirmation message like this:
TWiki has been installed.
You can now access TWiki at the following URL:
http://localhost/twiki/
The default administrator username and password is:
Username: admin
Password: $password
Replace $password with the password you set during the installation.
To verify that TWiki is installed properly, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/twiki/. You should see the TWiki home page.
