Thread:Project:Support desk/Trying to install MediaWiki for 2 hours/reply

Hi!

If you are not a developer, then you should probably not use the Git checkout, but the regular tarballs. Get the file from here: http://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-1.23.2.tar.gz and extract that one into your htdocs directory.

After that make sure your servers (Apache and MySQL) are running and visit the wiki with your webbrowser. You will then be guided through the rest of the installation process. See Manual:Installation_guide for more information on how to install MediaWiki!
