PukiWiki is a wiki application written in PHP that allows users to create and edit websites collaboratively. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install PukiWiki on your Linux Mint Latest operating system.

Prerequisites

To install PukiWiki on Linux Mint, you need to have the following prerequisites:

  1. A Linux Mint Latest operating system.
  2. A web server installed on your system.
  3. PHP 5 or higher installed on your system.
  4. MySQL installed on your system.

Step 1: Install Apache Web Server

The first step is to install the Apache web server on your system. You can install it by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2

Step 2: Install PHP

After installing the Apache web server, you need to install PHP. You can install it by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install php

Step 3: Install MySQL

Next, you need to install MySQL on your system. You can install it by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root password for MySQL.

Step 4: Install PukiWiki

After installing Apache, PHP, and MySQL, you can now download the latest version of PukiWiki from their official website at https://pukiwiki.osdn.jp/. Once downloaded, extract the contents of the archive to the root directory of your web server.

cd /var/www/html/
sudo wget https://osdn.jp/frs/g_redir.php?m=jaist&f=%2Fpukiwiki%2F71421%2Fpukiwiki-1.5.2_utf8.zip
sudo unzip pukiwiki-1.5.2_utf8.zip
sudo mv pukiwiki-1.5.2_utf8 pukiwiki

Note: We used version 1.5.2 for this tutorial, but always download the latest version available on their website.

After extracting the contents, you need to set the correct file permissions. Run the following commands to set the correct file permissions:

cd /var/www/html/pukiwiki/
sudo chmod 777 wiki cache counter diff_backup diff freedownload tmp
sudo chmod 666 wiki/wiki.ini.php

Step 5: Configure PukiWiki

Next, you need to configure PukiWiki. Open the wiki/wiki.ini.php file in a text editor and set the following variables:

define('WIKI_DIR',        './wiki/'); # path to wiki
define('WIKI_LIB_DIR',    WIKI_DIR.'lib/'); # path to wiki lib
define('DIFF_DIR',        WIKI_DIR.'diff/'); # path to diff backup
define('FREE_DOWNLOADS_DIR',WIKI_DIR.'freedownload/'); #自由ダウンロード
$script           = 'index.php';

After setting the variables, save the file and exit the text editor.

Step 6: Access PukiWiki

Finally, you can access PukiWiki by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost/pukiwiki. You will be prompted to create an administrator user account. After creating the user account, you can start using PukiWiki to create and edit websites collaboratively.
