Gitit is a fast and powerful wiki system written in Haskell. It is an open-source web application that allows you to create and manage wikis on your local computer. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Gitit on MXLinux Latest.
Before installing Gitit, it's a good practice to update your system repositories to ensure you have the latest versions of packages.
sudo apt-get update
Gitit requires several Haskell packages to function correctly. You can install these packages by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install haskell-platform libghc-blaze-builder-dev libghc-cgi-dev libghc-happstack-server-dev libghc-hslogger-dev libghc-pandoc-dev libghc-tagsoup-dev libghc-xss-sanitize-dev
You can download Gitit from its GitHub repository. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jgm/gitit.git
This will download the Gitit repository to your home directory. Navigate to the Gitit directory by running:
cd ~/gitit
Then, install Gitit by running:
sudo cabal update
sudo cabal install
The installation process may take a few minutes to complete.
After installation, you can start Gitit by running:
gitit -p 5001
By default, Gitit listens on port 5001. You can configure several options, such as the port number, using command-line arguments or a configuration file. For example, to listen on port 8000, run:
gitit -p 8000
You can access the Gitit interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5001 (replace 5001 with the port you specified).
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure Gitit on MXLinux Latest. Gitit is a great choice if you want to host a wiki on your local computer. Happy wiki-ing!
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!
