2. Create the table online with SQL query supplied in whosonline.sql,
   or run the command:
   php5 maintenance/update.php
   which creates the table as well.
3. Add the following line to LocalSettings.php to activate the extension:
   require_once($IP.'/extensions/WhosOnline/WhosOnline.php');
4. If you want anymous users IP addresses shown, add:
   $wgWhosOnlineShowAnons = TRUE;
   to LocalSettings.php after the above statement. Default is not to show them, both for privacy and security reasons.
