Thread:Project:Support desk/running install script with admin

I am trying to install a wiki server on my local machine.

I have successfully got to the point in the installation instructions where I must run the install script. I am trying to do this over the command line as follows: php /var/www/mediawiki/maintenance/install.php --wiki=biosys --server=localhost --dbuser:root --dbpass=biosys --dbname=wiki_db --dbtype=mysql ... as it is this format specified when I continually got it wrong. Though I get an error like this: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' ... since the command can't end with ">".

I have also tried bioadmin without "<>" but I get the error: Argument required! ...error.

If this is a known error a solution would be greatly appreciated, thanks very much!
