TWiki System Requirements |

| | Server Requirements
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.
|
|
<
< |
| Perl |
5.6.1 or higher (5.8.4 or higher is recommended) |
|
>
> |
| Perl |
5.8.0 or higher (5.8.4 or higher is recommended) |
|
| |
| RCS |
5.7 or higher (including GNU diff)
Optional, TWiki includes a pure perl implementation of RCS that can be used instead (although it's slower) |
GNU diff |
GNU diff 2.7 or higher is required when not using the all-Perl RcsLite.
Install on PATH if not included with RCS (check version with diff -v)
Must be the version used by RCS, to avoid problems with binary attachments - RCS may have hard-coded path to diff |
|
|
>
> |
GNU df |
Used by the site statistics to record disk usage statistics, optional. The df command is pre-installed on Linux and OS-X. On Windows install the CoreUtils for Windows. |
|
| |
GNU patch |
For upgrades only: GNU patch is required when using the TWiki:Codev.UpgradeTWiki script |
GNU fgrep, egrep |
Modify command line parameters in configure if you use non-GNU grep programs |
|
|

zip |
Zip archive command line utility. Used by the BackupRestorePlugin to create and restore from backups. |

Most of them will probably already be available in your installation. You can check version numbers with the configure script, or if you're still trying to get to that point, check from the command line like this: |
| | Important note about TWiki Plugins
- Plugins can require just about anything - browser-specific functions, stylesheets (CSS), Java applets, cookies, specific Perl modules,... - check the individual Plugin specs.
