Prerequisites

Before we start, you'll need a few things:

Step 3 - Configure Raneto

cp config.default.js config.js

Make sure you update the following fields:

• title: The title of your wiki
• description: The description of your wiki
• base_url: The base URL of your wiki

Step 4 - Start Raneto

Now that we have installed all the required dependencies and configured our Raneto instance, we can start it using:

npm start

This will start Raneto and make it available at http://localhost:3000.

Step 5 - Using Raneto
