It can be used for a variety of purposes, including project management, task lists, documentation, and creating your own digital knowledge base. In this tutorial, we will be discussing the installation of TiddlyWiki on the Linux Mint Latest operating system.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, you should have the following prerequisites:

• A Linux Mint Latest operating system installed
• A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Download TiddlyWiki

First, we need to download the latest version of TiddlyWiki from the official website. You can download the latest version by running the following command in your terminal:

wget https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/releases/download/v5.1.23/tiddlywiki.html

This command will download the HTML file, which is the core of TiddlyWiki.

Step 2: Install Node.js

TiddlyWiki requires Node.js to run on your system. You can install it by running the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs

After the installation, verify the installation by running the following command:

node -v

This command should print out the version of Node.js installed on your system.

Step 3: Create TiddlyWiki Folder

Now, we need to create a directory to store our TiddlyWiki files. You can create a new directory anywhere on your system by running the following command in your terminal:

mkdir ~/TiddlyWiki

This command will create a directory named "TiddlyWiki" in your home directory where you can store your TiddlyWiki files.

Step 4: Copy TiddlyWiki HTML File

Now, we need to copy the downloaded TiddlyWiki HTML file to the TiddlyWiki directory. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

cp tiddlywiki.html ~/TiddlyWiki/index.html

This command will copy the downloaded TiddlyWiki HTML file to the TiddlyWiki directory and rename it to "index.html" to make it accessible through a web browser.

Step 5: Start TiddlyWiki

Finally, we can start TiddlyWiki by running the following command in your terminal:

cd ~/TiddlyWiki
nodejs ./tiddlywiki.js --listen server

This command will start TiddlyWiki and bind it to the localhost address at port 8080.

Now, you can open your web browser and navigate to the following URL to access your TiddlyWiki installation:
