XWiki is an advanced wiki software platform that is designed to help teams collaborate on documentation, create knowledge bases, and manage content. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing XWiki on Manjaro.
Before you start, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step before installing any software is to update the system to the latest version. To do this, open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard, and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update your Manjaro system to the latest version.
XWiki is built on top of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), so you need to install Java on your system. Run the following command to install the default version of Java:
sudo pacman -S jre-openjdk
Now, download the latest version of XWiki from the official website at https://www.xwiki.org. You can download the .war file from the website. Alternatively, you can run the following command:
wget https://download.forge.ow2.org/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise-web-12.10.1.war
Once you have downloaded the XWiki .war file, you need to install it. Run the following command to install XWiki:
sudo mkdir /opt/xwiki
sudo mv xwiki-enterprise-web-12.10.1.war /opt/xwiki
sudo java -jar /opt/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise-web-12.10.1.war
This will install XWiki on your system.
Once the installation is complete, start the XWiki server by running the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/xwiki start
You can now access XWiki through a web browser by navigating to http://localhost:8080/xwiki.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed XWiki on Manjaro. With XWiki, you can now create knowledge bases and manage content with ease.
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!
