PukiWiki is a popular Wiki system that can be used for website creation and management. It is written in PHP and uses a flat-file database system. Here's how to install PukiWiki on macOS:
MAMP is a free, open-source application that provides a web server environment for macOS. Download and install MAMP from the official website https://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/.
Download the latest version of PukiWiki from the official website https://pukiwiki.osdn.jp/. Extract the downloaded file to the document root directory of your web server (e.g. /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/).
Rename the configuration files: "pukiwiki.ini.php.dist" to "pukiwiki.ini.php".
Open the "php.ini" file located in "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/". Uncomment (remove the semicolon) the following line:
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
Save and close the file.
Launch MAMP and click on the "Start Servers" button. Wait for the MAMP web server to start.
Open your web browser and go to "http://localhost/pukiwiki/". Follow the installation instructions and set up PukiWiki.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PukiWiki on macOS. Start creating and managing your website.
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!
