Hi all,
Is there a site where I can download and run a wiki on my own
computer? Preferably mediawiki, but something that's as easy as Firefox or
Media Player to install.
Thanks,
James
MediaWiki can be downloaded from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download.
You're using Outlook, and therefore Windows, which doesn't natively
support tar and gzip; I recommend
http://www.7-zip.org/ for
decompressing the archive. You need an HTTP server, such as Apache
(
http://apache.org/) and PHP (
http://www.php.net/) to run MediaWiki.
Don't let the term "HTTP server" scare you; you don't need to allow
others access to your computer.
