In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install TWiki on OpenSUSE.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
It is always a good practice to keep your system up to date. Therefore, update your OpenSUSE system by running the following command:
sudo zypper update
Install the necessary packages using the following command:
sudo zypper install apache2 perl glibc-devel curl
Download the TWiki package from the official website using the following command:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/twiki/distro/raw/master/TWiki-6.1.0.tgz -o twiki.tgz
Extract the downloaded TWiki package using the following command:
sudo tar zxvf twiki.tgz -C /var/www/html/
Move to the TWiki installation directory and run the configuration script:
cd /var/www/html/TWiki-6.1.0/
sudo ./configure
Follow the prompts to configure TWiki.
Start the Apache webserver by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start apache2
Enable the Apache webserver to automatically start at boot time using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to the following URL to access the TWiki:
http://localhost/TWiki-6.1.0/bin/view
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TWiki on OpenSUSE. You can now create, edit, and manage your own wiki pages.
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!
