Manual:Installation

This guide provides detailed instructions on installing MediaWiki. For a quick overview, please see Manual:Installation guide. For guidance on specific operating systems, see the menu to the right.

MediaWiki can be difficult to install for the average computer user who does not have experience with Apache, PHP and MySQL. Most users who wish to use wiki software may benefit from using a free wiki host (see a list of wiki hosts on Wikibooks).
