Instructions
The MediaWiki install linked in the next step relies on a running RDBMS with a database and user already created.

We recommend using MariaDB, and though a full installation guide is outside of the scope of this document, start with [https://mariadb.com/kb/en/documentation/ this excellent collection of documentation] and [https://www.mariadbtutorial.com/mariadb-basics/ this tutorial].

Optional sidebar
If you'd like to add some Wikibase-related links to your main page sidebar, you can add [https://phab.wmfusercontent.org/file/data/6753kdd4tue235lhxwoe/PHID-FILE-5n4sat6x3amjjhdnuz4f/raw-paste-data.txt these configuration stanzas] to your LocalSettings.php.

OAuth
Wikibase needs the OAuth extension for the 1>#Wikidata Query Service|Wikidata query service, as you'll see below.

Installation
The 1>Special:MyLanguage/Extension:OAuth|OAuth install instructions are comprehensive. Note that you'll benefit from a working understanding of  to finish this install.

Wikidata Query Service
The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS), which consists of the Blazegraph SPARQL query backend and its updater, can be and often is used in conjunction with Wikibase.

Instructions
While intrepid users may wish to 1>Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata Query Service/Implementation#Labs Deployment|compile their own instance of WDQS, we recommend using the precompiled version.


 * Download the desired version from [ https://archiva.wikimedia.org/repository/releases/org/wikidata/query/rdf/service Archiva].
 * 0.3.42 </> is the recommended version as of this writing, September 2020. However, expect this information to be updated with the 1>Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki 1.35</>|impending MediaWiki release.
 * To configure the query service, consult both the [<tvar|url>https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service#Notes_about_running_the_service_on_non-WMF_infrastructure Wikitech</> WDQS guide] and the 1>Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata Query Service/User Manual|</>WDQS user manual.
 * In particular, configure <tvar|1>RWstore.properties</> as noted here:.
