Any PHP enabled webserver will do. You need to make sure that it has **session support** though, as they are used to allow users to log in. If your php server does not have session support, you will know about it quite quickly since it won't remember you logging in.
Information about configuring PHP sessions can be found here: https://php.net/manual/en/session.installation.php
More detailed information about installing Pepperminty Wiki can be found on [this repository's wiki](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/wiki/Installing) (CATION: OUTDATED - SEE BELOW).
The fastet way is to download the `index.php` file located in the repository. This is the development release, and should _mostly_ work. It comes pre-packaged with all the latest modules, too!
The repository also has (semi) regular releases that are (mostly) guaranteed to be stable. You can get the latest one from the [releases page](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/releases). The latest release comes with all the latest plugin releases too!
If you want to choose which modules you want in your wiki, you can use the downloader. This lets you choose the modules you want - the system will automatically build the a customised copy just for you! The downloader will be updated on each release (if it hasn't been upadted please open an issue).
You can find it here: [Pepperminty Wiki Downloader](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/download.php)
#### From source
If you want to build Pepperminty Wiki from source, you can do this in 2 ways. Start by cloning this repository, and then follow the instructions below. If you don't have git installed, simply click the "Download Zip" button to the right.
##### From the command line
1. Delete the modules you don't want installed in the `modules/` folder
2. Run `php rebuild_module_index.php`
3. Delete `index.php` if it exists
4. Run `php build.php`
If you are on Windows, you can run the `build.bat` batch file I wrote instead of steps 2-4.
##### From the web
1. Start a local web server in the root of the cloned repository
2. Navigate to `download.php` in your web browser on the local web server
4. Copy your settings over the new settings (making sure that you don't delete any new settings - it will be obvious if you do this if you have error reporting enabled)
From time to time breaking changes will be made. By this I mean additions and / or deletions to the settings that can be found at the top of your wiki's `index.php`. They will be listed here so you can manually update your settings if required.
To configure it, open your downloaded copy of `index.php` in your favourite editor - the settings can be configured at the top of the file. There are extensive comments that explain what each option does. Make sure that you change the allowed usernames and passwords! If you need more help, don't hesitate to open an issue on this repository or contact me.
Wanted: Themes! If you have a cool theme, simply open an issue on the bug tracker in this repository to share your theme. If you don't have a github account, no problem! Simply email me with your code instead.
