Software bundles/es

La instalación manual de MediaWiki puede ser un proceso complejo y ocupar mucho tiempo, sobre todo para usuarios poco familiarizados con los aspectos técnicos. Para algunos usuarios puede resultar más fácil crear su servidor MediaWiki empleando un paquete de software. Estos paquetes de software suelen incluir una combinación de sistema autónomo, un paquete AMP, el software Mediawiki, una serie de extensiones y/o un paquete de plantillas.

Be warned that third-party packages often introduce unexpected or potentially damaging changes enforcing Filesystem Hierarchy Standard or other vendor-specific requirements. These patches are not reviewed by core developers and tend to break the wiki in a number of subtle (or even not so subtle) ways. Also, packages may contain older versions of MediaWiki, so pay close attention to compatibility information for directions and extensions. The MediaWiki development team refers you to your operational system distributor and the individual communities and companies who maintain these packages for assistance with installing, configuring or using these software bundles.

Instalación automática
The following website provides a free service that enables MediaWiki to be installed, configured, and maintained using a website's FTP information. For increased security, a separate FTP account and MySQL/MariaDB database should be created for use with this service.

Accesorios del software MediaWiki
A MediaWiki software appliance is a MediaWiki and AMP software preintegrated in a just-enough operational system. It allows users to altogether skip manual installation of MediaWiki and its dependencies, and instead deploy a self-contained, ready-to-use system that requires little to no setup, especially in combination with virtual machine software such as VirtualBox or VMware.

MediaWiki-Vagrant is a set of configuration scripts for Vagrant that automate the creation and update of a virtual machine that runs MediaWiki and your choice of extensions and services. This is ideal for MediaWiki developers.

Several third-party MediaWiki software appliances exist. These are LAMP software bundles (Linux+AMP) including a MediaWiki server:


 * Cloudron makes it easy to run web apps on your server and keep them up-to-date and secure. The MediaWiki app installs MediaWiki on Cloudron and can be configured to be a public or private wiki. The installation can be tested at the demo (username: cloudron password: cloudron)
 * TurnKey MediaWiki, based on Debian includes a pre-integrated collection of popular extensions.
 * rPath MediaWiki, based on rPath Linux. (No extensions included.)
 * Webuzo MediaWiki, based on CentOS Linux. Runs on VMware. NOTE: Requires Premium Webuzo License Purchase
 * Bitnami virtual machine Linux image with MediaWiki Stack. (No extensions included.) Requires VMware or VirtualBox. See MediaWiki with BitNami for a step by step guide with screenshots.
 * Meza - A MediaWiki administration program which enables the easy install and maintenance of Apache, MariaDB, PHP 7, MediaWiki including Semantic MediaWiki, Visual Editor, Elasticsearch, and many other extensions. All you need is a minimal RedHat/CentOS install. Requires VirtualBox to run using Vagrant.

MediaWiki pre-integrated with AMP packages
AMP stands for (Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, Perl/PHP/Python).

AMP packages that include a MediaWiki server, but require an operating system:


 * Bitnami MediaWiki Stack. Available for Windows, Linux and OS X. See Installing MediaWiki with BitNami for a step by step guide with screenshots.
 * AMPPS MediaWiki. Available for Windows and OS X.
 * Mediawiki4Intranet:
 * Available for Linux as a MediaWiki bundle - includes vanilla MediaWiki with extensions and patches. Does not include third-party tools and converters as most of the Linux users usually 'apt-get' them.
 * Available for Windows as a standalone bundle, including XAMPP and all required third-party tools and media converters (even LaTeX).
 * MediaWiki Debian package - will install Apache, MariaDB/MySQL and PHP by default, allowing for further customization if you want.
 * Meza - A MediaWiki administration program which enables the easy install and maintenance of Apache, MariaDB, PHP 7, MediaWiki including Semantic MediaWiki, Visual Editor, Elasticsearch, and many other extensions. All you need is a minimal RedHat/CentOS install. Requires VirtualBox to run using Vagrant.

Extension packages
These are packages of several MediaWiki extensions, requiring MediaWiki software, AMP and an operational system:
 * The MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle

MediaWiki enterprise solutions
These are MediaWiki distributions customized and prepackaged for the use of the enterprise.

AMP packages without MediaWiki
There are also AMP packages available that are not bundled with MediaWiki. If you go this route, you have to install MediaWiki and extensions as a separate step. Depending on your operating system, you would want a LAMP (for Linux), a WAMP (for Windows), a SAMP (for Solaris), or a FAMP (for FreeBSD).

One AMP package that has worked well is XAMPP. See Manual:Installing MediaWiki on XAMPP. The current version of XAMPP uses PHP 5.4.27.

Another AMP package is BitNami LAMPStack. For downloads and a step-by-step tutorial, see MediaWiki with BitNami.

Another WAMP package is Uniform Server. See Manual:Installation on Uniform Server (Windows).
