Software bundles/de

Die manuelle Installation von MediaWiki kann unangenehm und zeitaufwändig sein, insbesondere für Benutzer ohne technische Vorkenntnisse. Einige Benutzer finden es einfacher MediaWiki mithilfe eines "Software-Pakets" zu installieren. Diese Software-Pakete beinhalten einige Kombinationen von Betriebssystemen, AMP Pakete, die MediaWiki-Software, Erweiterungen und/oder Vorlagen-Pakete.

Be warned that third-party packages often introduce unexpected or potentially damaging changes enforcing Filesystem Hierarchy Standard or other vendor-specific requirements. These patches are not reviewed by core developers and tend to break the wiki in a number of subtle (or even not so subtle) ways. Also, packages may contain older versions of MediaWiki, so pay close attention to compatibility information for directions and extensions. The MediaWiki development team refers you to your operational system distributor and the individual communities and companies who maintain these packages for assistance with installing, configuring or using these software bundles.

Automatische Installation
Die folgende Webseite bietet einen kostenlosen Service an, bei dem mithilfe der FTP-Zugangsdaten der Webseite MediaWiki installiert, konfiguriert und gewartet wird. Für erhöhte Sicherheit sollte ein eigener FTP-Account und eigene MySQL/MariaDB Datenbank für die Benutzung mit diesem Service benutzt werden.

MediaWiki-Software
Eine MediaWiki Software-Appliance ist eine MediaWiki und AMP Software integriert in ein minimales Betriebssystem. Sie erlaubt Benutzern die manuelle Installation von MediaWiki und dessen Abhängigkeiten zu überspringen und stattdessen ein eigenständiges, einsatzbereites System, das wenig bis keine Konfiguration benötigt, zu benutzen, insbesondere in Kombination mit Software für virtuelle Maschinen wie Virtualbox oder VMware.

MediaWiki-Vagrant is 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. This is ideal for MediaWiki developers.

Several third-party MediaWiki software appliances exist. These are LAMP software bundles (Linux+AMP) including a MediaWiki server:


 * Cloudron MediaWiki app lets you install MediaWiki on a custom domain on your Cloudron smartserver (source code).
 * TurnKey MediaWiki, based on Debian includes a pre-integrated collection of popular extensions.
 * rPath MediaWiki, based on rPath Linux. (No extensions included.)
 * Webuzo MediaWiki, based on CentOS Linux. Runs on VMware.  NOTE: Requires Premium Webuzo License Purchase
 * Bitnami virtual machine Linux image with MediaWiki Stack. (No extensions included.) Requires VMWare or VirtualBox. See MediaWiki with BitNami for a step by step guide with screenshots.

MediaWiki pre-integrated with AMP packages
AMP stands for (Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, Perl/PHP/Python). AMP packages that include a MediaWiki server, but require an operating system:
 * Bitnami MediaWiki Stack. Available for Windows, Linux and OS X. See Installing MediaWiki with BitNami for a step by step guide with screenshots.
 * AMPPS MediaWiki. Available for Windows and OS X.
 * Mediawiki4Intranet:
 * Available for Linux as a MediaWiki bundle - includes vanilla MediaWiki with extensions and patches. Does not include third-party tools and converters as most of the Linux users usually 'apt-get' them.
 * Available for Windows as a standalone bundle, including XAMPP and all required third-party tools and media converters (even LaTeX).
 * MediaWiki Debian package - will install Apache, MariaDB/MySQL and PHP by default, allowing for further customization if you want.

Extension packages
These are packages of several MediaWiki extensions, requiring MediaWiki software, AMP and an operational system:
 * Unofficial bundles of the extensions in the Wikimedia SVN repository can sometimes be found on the toolserver. These bundles are arbitrary snapshots, so keep in mind they might contain a broken version of the extension (just as if you load them from the developer's repository directly).
 * The Semantic Bundle
 * The MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle

MediaWiki enterprise solutions
These are MediaWiki distributions customized and prepackaged for the use of the enterprise.


 * BlueSpice - a free and open-source MediaWiki distribution for corporate use by Hallo Welt!, which is constantly expanded and improved. Paid-level service available as well.
 * semantic::core - open-source enterprise class MediaWiki distribution by gesinn.it GmbH & Co. KG. Available on-premise, as secure cloud or public hosting solution.
 * semantic::apps by gesinn.it - plug-and-play Semantic MediaWiki applications for e. g. business process, project or contact management.

AMP packages without Mediawiki
There are also AMP packages available that are not bundled with Mediawiki. If you go this route, you have to install Mediawiki and extensions as a separate step. Depending on your operating system, you would want a LAMP (for Linux), a WAMP (for Windows), a SAMP (for Solaris), or a FAMP (for FreeBSD).

One AMP package that has worked well is XAMPP. See Manual:Installing MediaWiki on XAMPP. The current version of XAMPP uses PHP 5.4.27.

Another AMP package is BitNami LAMPStack. For downloads and a step-by-step tutorial, see MediaWiki with BitNami.

Another WAMP package is Uniform Server. See Manual:Installation on Uniform Server (Windows).
