Software bundles

When possible, using a pre-integrated MediaWiki software appliance is one of the easiest ways to get up and run and running with MediaWiki, as it allows users to altogether skip manual installation of MediaWiki and its dependencies. Instead users deploy a self-contained, ready-to-use system that requires little to no setup.

Several such software appliances exist, including:


 * TurnKey MediaWiki, which is based on Ubuntu and is built by the TurnKey Linux opensource project.
 * MediaWiki appliance, which is based on rPath Linux.
