Tutorial: How to Install Pepperminty Wiki on POP! OS

Pepperminty Wiki is a personal wiki engine that lets you easily create, edit, and manage your own wiki pages. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Pepperminty Wiki on your POP! OS machine.

Prerequisites

Before we get started with the installation, ensure that you have the following requirements:

Step 1: Clone Pepperminty Wiki

Firstly, open a terminal window and clone the Pepperminty Wiki repository from Github. To do this, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki.git

This command will download the Pepperminty Wiki project files to your local machine.

Step 2: Install Python and Pip

Pepperminty Wiki requires Python to run. By default, POP! OS already has Python installed, but you may need to install some additional packages. To install Python and Pip, run the following command:

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip -y

This will install both Python and Pip.

Step 3: Install the Required Python Packages

Pepperminty Wiki requires some additional Python packages to run. To install these packages, navigate to the folder where you cloned the wiki repository, and run the following command:

pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt

This command will install all the required packages.

Step 4: Start the Pepperminty Wiki Server

After installing all the requirements, start the Pepperminty Wiki server by executing the following command inside the repository folder:

python3 peppermintywiki.py

This will start the Pepperminty Wiki server on port 5000 by default.

Step 5: Access the Wiki Site

After starting the server, launch a web browser and navigate to the following URL:

http://localhost:5000/

This will open the Pepperminty Wiki site on your local machine.
