Installing Wiki on Void Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Wiki on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A computer with a Linux operating system installed (Void Linux is our target in this tutorial)
  • An active internet connection

Steps

  1. First, we need to install the necessary dependencies. Run the following command in your terminal:

    sudo xbps-install -S git go gcc
    
  2. Next, clone the Wiki repository from https://git.mills.io/prologic/wiki

    git clone https://git.mills.io/prologic/wiki.git
    
  3. Once the download is complete, move into the cloned directory using the following command:

    cd wiki
    
  4. Build and install the Wiki server by running the following command:

    make && sudo make install
    

    Alternatively, you can use the go command to build and install the server:

    go install
    
  5. Finally, run the Wiki server:

    wiki
    
  6. You should see the following message:

    2022/01/01 00:00:00 Serving on :8080
    

    This means the Wiki server is running on your local machine, accessible at http://localhost:8080.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and run Wiki on Void Linux. You can now open your web browser and visit the server URL to start creating Wiki pages. Enjoy!
