When I start the visual editor in mediawiki, I always get this error message:

Fehler beim Laden der Daten vom Server: no_vrs: The VirtualRESTService for the document server is not defined; see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor. Soll der Vorgang erneut durchgeführt werden?

English:

Error loading data from server: no_vrs: The VirtualRESTService for the document server is not defined; see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor. Would you like to retry?

I downloaded the visual editor and copied it to the extention directory. Then I wrote that into the LocalSettings.php file:

wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );

// Enable by default for everybody

$wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable'] = 1;

// Optional: Set VisualEditor as the default for anonymous users

// otherwise they will have to switch to VE

// $wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-editor'] = "visualeditor";

// Don't allow users to disable it

$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'visualeditor-enable';

// OPTIONAL: Enable VisualEditor's experimental code features

#$wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable-experimental'] = 1;

Ps: I have not installed Node.js. Do I need that? And if so which version?

that's all I did. Thank you!

Yes, you need parsoid (which means nodejs).

Thanks! And which nodejs version do i need?

Apparently nodejs >= v4.x, from Parsoid/Setup for Ubuntu / Debian
