Server and client system requirements for TWiki 01-Dec-2001
Maintaining minimum client and server requirements is necessary to keep TWiki deployment as broad as possible.
TWiki is written in Perl 5, uses a number of shell commands, and requires RCS (Revision Control System), a GNU Free Software package. TWiki is developed in a basic Linux/Apache environment. It also works with Microsoft Windows, and should have no problem on any other platform that meets the requirements:
Required Server Environment | ||
---|---|---|
Resource | Unix | Windows |
Perl | 5.005_03 or higher | |
Non standard Perl modules | Net::SMTP (or sendmail ) |
Net::SMTP , MIME::Base64 , Digest::SHA1 |
RCS | 5.7 or higher | |
Other external programs | ls, fgrep, egrep |
|
Web server | Apache; others (with support for CGI, authentication, extended path) * |
Current documentation covers Linux only. A TWikiOnWindows installation guide is next.
The TWiki standard installation has extremely low browser requirements:
You can easily add capabilities, through customizing the templates, for one, while tailoring the browser requirements to your situation.
