PukiWiki is a popular wiki software that allows users to create and manage wikis. In this tutorial, we will be installing PukiWiki on Manjaro Linux.
Before we start, make sure your Manjaro system is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -Syu
Firstly, we need to install Apache and PHP on our system. Apache is a web server that allows us to host websites, while PHP is a server-side scripting language used to provide dynamic content to web pages.
To install Apache and PHP, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache
Now, let's download and extract PukiWiki. Go to the PukiWiki download page and download the latest stable version of PukiWiki.
Once you have downloaded the file, extract it to the Apache web directory which is /srv/http. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo tar -xzf pukiwiki-1.5.1_utf8.tar.gz -C /srv/http
To configure Apache for PukiWiki, we need to modify the Apache configuration file which is located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
Open the file in your favorite text editor and add the following lines at the end of the file:
<Directory "/srv/http/pukiwiki">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
This will allow Apache to serve PukiWiki from the /srv/http/pukiwiki directory.
Now that we have installed and configured Apache, let's start the web server.
Run the following command in your terminal to start Apache:
sudo systemctl start httpd
You can verify that Apache is running by visiting http://localhost/ in your web browser.
Finally, let's install PukiWiki. Visit http://localhost/pukiwiki/install.php in your web browser to begin the installation process.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. After you have installed PukiWiki, you can access it by visiting http://localhost/pukiwiki/ in your web browser.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed PukiWiki on Manjaro Linux!
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!
