How to Install Oddmuse on Windows 10

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Oddmuse on Windows 10.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A Windows 10 computer
• A web server software such as XAMPP, WAMP, or MAMP installed on your computer
• Basic knowledge of running a web server software
• A text editor for editing configuration files

Step 1: Download Oddmuse

Visit the official Oddmuse website at https://oddmuse.org and download the latest version of the software.

Step 2: Extract Oddmuse

Extract the Oddmuse archive into the web server's document root directory. For example, if you are using XAMPP, extract the contents of the Oddmuse archive to C:\xampp\htdocs\oddmuse.

Step 3: Create a Configuration File

Create a configuration file for Oddmuse using a text editor. Name the file local.pl and save it in the Oddmuse directory.

Here is an example content of local.pl:

$DataDir = './data';
$ModuleDir = './modules';
$ConfigFile = './config';
$Logfile = './log';
$SiteName = 'Oddmuse Wiki';
$EditAllowed = 1;
$UseHostName = 1;
$UseSlash = 1;

Step 4: Configure Web Server

Configure your web server to serve the Oddmuse directory as a website. You may need to create a virtual host or modify the web server's configuration file to achieve this.

Step 5: Access Oddmuse

Open your web browser and go to the address of your Oddmuse installation. For example, if your web server is running on your local computer, go to http://localhost/oddmuse.

Step 6: Create an Admin Account

The first time you access Oddmuse, you will be prompted to create an admin account. Follow the instructions to create the account.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Oddmuse on Windows 10. You can now start creating your own wiki pages and invite others to collaborate with you.
