Would you please help meĀ ? IT IS VERY URGENT FOR ME. Cheers Pamela

Point your browser to the directory where MediaWiki was extracted and follow the link to the setup screen. It should be in the form http://%5Bdomain%5D/%5Bdirectory%5D/mw-config/index.php. Replace [directory] with the path to your extracted MediaWiki folder. If installed on a local machine, replace [domain] with localhost. If installed on a remote server, replace [domain] with your server's domain name (eg: www.myserver.com). https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide
Here you do not need to use 'localhost' if you'd like other people in the lan to see the wiki. You need to use the [domain] (aka a local ip such as 10.1.1.17 or 192.168.1.23).
Or even better a local domain pointing to such local ip as it's easier to remember
you can find your local ip using 'ifconfig' or 'ipconfig' in your os commandline prompt
