Installing PukiWiki on Manjaro

PukiWiki is a popular wiki software that allows users to create and manage wikis. In this tutorial, we will be installing PukiWiki on Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure your Manjaro system is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 1: Install Apache and PHP

Firstly, we need to install Apache and PHP on our system. Apache is a web server that allows us to host websites, while PHP is a server-side scripting language used to provide dynamic content to web pages.

To install Apache and PHP, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache

Step 2: Download and Extract PukiWiki

Now, let's download and extract PukiWiki. Go to the PukiWiki download page and download the latest stable version of PukiWiki.

Once you have downloaded the file, extract it to the Apache web directory which is /srv/http. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

sudo tar -xzf pukiwiki-1.5.1_utf8.tar.gz -C /srv/http

Step 3: Configure Apache

To configure Apache for PukiWiki, we need to modify the Apache configuration file which is located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

Open the file in your favorite text editor and add the following lines at the end of the file:

<Directory "/srv/http/pukiwiki">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

This will allow Apache to serve PukiWiki from the /srv/http/pukiwiki directory.

Step 4: Start Apache

Now that we have installed and configured Apache, let's start the web server.

Run the following command in your terminal to start Apache:

sudo systemctl start httpd

You can verify that Apache is running by visiting http://localhost/ in your web browser.

Step 5: Install PukiWiki

Finally, let's install PukiWiki. Visit http://localhost/pukiwiki/install.php in your web browser to begin the installation process.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. After you have installed PukiWiki, you can access it by visiting http://localhost/pukiwiki/ in your web browser.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed PukiWiki on Manjaro Linux!
