TWiki is an open-source application that allows users to link databases and web pages. It is useful for project collaboration and documentation purposes. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install TWiki on Manjaro.
To run TWiki on your Manjaro machine, you need to have Apache server and Perl installed. Use the following commands to install them:
sudo pacman -S apache
sudo pacman -S perl
Download the latest version of TWiki from the official website https://twiki.org/. You can save the file in your home directory.
Extract the TWiki archive by executing the following command:
tar -zxvf twiki-x.y.z.tar.gz
Replace x.y.z with the version number you have downloaded. This will create a new directory with the same name as the archive in your current directory.
Move the extracted TWiki directory to the Apache document root. Use the following command:
sudo mv twiki-x.y.z /srv/http/
This will move the TWiki directory to /srv/http/twiki-x.y.z/.
Set the appropriate permissions for the TWiki directory and its subdirectories. Use the following commands:
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/twiki-x.y.z/
sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/http/twiki-x.y.z/
Edit the httpd.conf file of Apache to configure TWiki. Use the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /srv/http/twiki-x.y.z/
ServerName twiki.example.com
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/twiki_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/twiki_access.log combined
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
<Directory "/srv/http/twiki-x.y.z/">
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Start the Apache server:
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/twiki-x.y.z/bin/view. If you see the TWiki home page, the installation was successful.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install TWiki on Manjaro by downloading and extracting TWiki, moving it to the Apache document root, configuring Apache, and testing TWiki. You can now use TWiki for your project collaboration and documentation needs.
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!
