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://[domain]/[directory]/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

it may also work with localhost in the url for install script
but when it asks what url is being used to access the wiki, you have to give it a proper
non-'localhost' thing which other people can use. this is where links on wiki
pages would point.
