TWiki System Requirements | |
<
< | Server and client requirements for TWiki 01-Feb-2003 | >
> | Server and client requirements for TWiki 01-Sep-2004 | | | Low client and server requirements are core features that keep TWiki widely deployable, particularly across a range of browser platforms and versions. | | |
- generates XHTML 1.0 pages that are compatible with HTML 3.2
- minimal use of JavaScript in the user interface (degrades gracefully)
- no cookies
| |

< | | >
> | | | | You can easily add functionality, by customizing TWikiTemplates, for one, while tailoring the browser requirements to your situation. |

TWiki System 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 | 5.005_03 or higher (5.6.1 recommended, 5.8.0 not recommended yet, see TWiki:Codev.IssuesWithPerl5dot8) |
| Non-standard Perl modules | • Unix: Net::SMTP (or sendmail)
• Windows: Net::SMTP, MIME::Base64, Digest::SHA1 |

| Perl | 5.005_03 or higher (5.6.1 recommended, 5.8.x does work in most cases, but see TWiki:Codev.IssuesWithPerl5dot8) |
| Non-standard Perl modules | • Unix: Net::SMTP (or sendmail)
• Windows: Net::SMTP, MIME::Base64, Digest::SHA1
• Internationalisation: Unicode::MapUTF8 (only for non-ISO-8859-1 sites using TWiki:Codev.EncodeURLsWithUTF8 with Perl 5.6 or lower) |
| | |
| RCS | 5.7 or higher (including GNU diff)
Optional, but the all-Perl RCS replacement is not currently recommended for live sites - see TWiki:Codev.RcsLite |
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 |
| Other external programs | fgrep, egrep |
| | |

 Plugins included in the TWiki distribution do not add requirements.

| | |  * Current documentation mainly covers Linux and Apache installations. See WindowsInstallCookbook? for a Windows installation guide. See TWiki:Codev.TWikiOn for help with installation on various platforms including Unix, MacOS X, Apache mod_perl, web hosts, etc. | | |
- The TWikiPlugins feature currently does not have compatibility guidelines for developers. Plugins can require just about anything - browser-specific functions, stylesheets (CSS), Java applets, cookies, specific Perl modules,... - check the individual Plugin specs.
- Plugins included in the TWiki distribution do not add requirements.
