So I don't know much, but I know I want to use Mediawiki and VE and Parsoid for my next web project. So, I'm taking a run at installing it, with little knowledge, in the hopes it actually works, or some kind soul takes pity on me and helps me out.

Steps:

1. After GabrielW's suggestion, I purchased a cheap VPS from HostHatch

2. Next, I installed Fedora 20 by loging into my control panel for the site.

3. THEN, I logged into my brand spanking new server using PUTTY.

4. Then I found this page

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Fedora

And installed Mediawiki by typing And then: Actually, I think didn't type the #
 * 1) yum install mediawiki

5.

THEN, I tried to see my install online, so I typed in my IP, but got a default fedora welcome page, which thankfully told me to put filed in var/www/html or I wouldn't see them.

SO, I copied my mediawiki installation (which was installed into my /www directory) into the /html/wiki directory

to do this I used this handy document:

http://www.itcs.umich.edu/itcsdocs/s4148/#renamedir

and typed

6. THEN I decided I wanted to try and get parsoid running first, because I know how to install mediawiki, it's parsoid that's the problem.

SO, I looked at this document:  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/Setup#Get_the_code

and tried to 'get the code' for parsoid, but I realised I didn't have git installed, so I went here: http://git-scm.com/download/linux

then I typed:

Actually, I didn't type the $

And then I had git

7. THEN I tried to get the parsoid code but using the clone function and steps outlined here:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/Setup#Get_the_code

And then I had the code on my server

8. THEN I installed it referring to my previous attempt documented here: www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:MarkJurgens/VESetup by typing:

and node.js was installed.
