Current Software Wizards

[edit]

I have a own Mediawikiinstance on my Computer and for that I used a setup wizard from Bitnami. The Project of making it easier to install Mediawiki is a very good goal from my point of view. Maybe Bitnami is interested in an kind of cooperation. Have you talked with Bitnami if they are interested to share their installation wizard and do you have an overview about other existing installation Wizards for installing Mediawiki.

Sorry for not responding before. No, we haven't talked with Bitnami, and I don't know what the state of installation wizards is right now for MediaWiki. But I think we're open to any ideas about creating installation wizard(s) for this MediaWiki distribution, and/or for getting it on to any existing catalogs.

MacOS?

[edit]

This is a wonderful initiative! It also seems great for potential new adopters who want to try out and explore MediaWiki without getting bogged down in setting things up. Are there are any plans to make this work for MacOS in the foreseeable future? Rand(1,2022) (talk) 14:49, 22 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

To be clear, if I remember correctly the issue is not with MacOS per se but with the chips normally used on Apple computers, i.e. ARM-based processors. It would be great to support ARM architecture, and I'm guessing that it's doable, but I don't know how to do it, and unfortunately I don't think anyone is working on it. If you have any suggestions, it would be good to get your feedback, ideally in an issue or PR here. Yaron Koren (talk) 15:23, 22 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the clarification. I don't think it works on MacOS machines with AMD64 (x86-64) either, unless it is just the CLI that isn't supported. Of course, I could also try running a Linux development environment in Docker on the MacOS host but I'm afraid that could become a bit of a rabbit hole.

What is the problem you're running into with the CLI on AMD? Yaron Koren (talk) 18:18, 22 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
The Unix interpreter is not happy with it I guess: zsh: exec format error: canasta Rand(1,2022) (talk) 18:45, 22 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
