INSTALL MEDIAWIKI INSTALL
The install size can be reduced to around 50MB for a developer install and to around 26MB for a non-developer, end-user install. Some users have reported running MediaWiki on computers with as little as 48MB of RAM. The recommended minimum requirements are 256MB of RAM for a single-computer website and 85MB of storage, although this will not suffice for a busy public site or a site with uploading enabled. Some Hosting services also provide such software.
INSTALL MEDIAWIKI SOFTWARE
Some users find it helpful to install additional control panel software such as phpMyAdmin (MySQL/MariaDB) or phpPgAdmin (PostgreSQL) to help administer the database server. We strongly advise to no longer to use these. Since MediaWiki 1.34, we no longer support using Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. You will need one of the following database servers to run the latest version of MediaWiki: MediaWiki stores all the text and data (content pages, user details, system messages, etc.) in a database, which it is capable of sharing with other web-based applications (phpBB, etc.). If you need to compile PHP from source, then see PHP configuration for compilation options that affect MediaWiki. VisualEditor requires libcurl support (php-curl on Debian/Ubuntu-based distros).
INSTALL MEDIAWIKI MAC
It is available for both Windows and Mac, but is generally used on Mac instead of Windows. MAMP includes the ability to run the Apache web server and a MySQL database. It is available for Linux, Windows, Mac and Solaris.Īs of January 2021, the latest version of XAMPP includes PHP 8.0 (MediaWiki requires at least 7.3.19/7.4.3).Īlternatively, if you run Mac OS, you can use MAMP, which is the equivalent to XAMPP. On other operating systems, use a software bundle like XAMPP from to install and configure all of the important packages – Apache web server, PHP, and MariaDB – with only one download.
