Summary
For experienced users, here is the quick version of the installation instructions. Most users will want to go through all the passages.


 * 1) Check that your system meets the minimum requirements shown nearby; Installation requirements has more details.
 * 2) Download MediaWiki  and extract the archive to a web-accessible folder on your server.
 * 3) Point your browser to the directory where MediaWiki was extracted and follow the link to the setup screen. It should be in the form  . Replace directory with the path to your extracted MediaWiki folder. If installing on a local machine, replace domain with  . If you install locally and later want to access your wiki from domain, then you will need to change LocalSettings.php from   to domain. If installed on a remote server, replace domain with your server's domain name (eg: www.myserver.com).
 * 4) Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

These instructions are deliberately brief. There is a lot that could go wrong, so if in doubt, you are advised to read the full instructions!

You can avoid manual installation by using a pre-integrated MediaWiki software appliance, hosting services with 1-click installation, or wiki farms.

If you are installing for development or testing, consider using MediaWiki-Vagrant, a set of configuration scripts for Vagrant that automate the creation and update of a virtual machine that runs MediaWiki and your choice of extensions and services.

You can also use community resources based on platforms such as Docker: https://github.com/rlewkowicz/docker-mediawiki-stack. This is managed by Jenkins and should be kept up to date for some time.

These are community based resources and should always be treated with some measure of caution. Use at your own risk.

Wiki families
A wiki family is more than one wiki installed on the same server. To set up multiple wikis on MediaWiki, see Manual:Wiki family.

System-specific instructions
The following pages give more detailed installation instructions aimed at specific systems. However, by and large Manual:Installing MediaWiki is more up to date, and better written than the per system docs, and as such it is recommended you first consult the main install instructions before looking at a per system installation documents.













Noti

 * MediaWiki can share the database of another web-based application, e.g. phpBB etc.


 * Some users find it helpful to install an additional software package such as phpMyAdmin (MySQL) or phpPgAdmin (Postgres) to help administer the database server.
