#> `sudo npm install -g tiddlywiki` (Mac/Linux)
2013-12-19 10:08:14 +00:00

## `tiddlywiki mynewwiki --init server` to create a folder for a new wiki that includes server-related components
## `tiddlywiki mynewwiki --server` to start TiddlyWiki

## Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/ in your browser
2013-12-19 10:08:14 +00:00
## Try editing and creating tiddlers
The `-g` flag causes TiddlyWiki to be installed globally. Without it, TiddlyWiki will only be available in the directory where you installed it.

If you are using Debian or Debian-based Linux and you are reciving a `node: command not found` error though node.js package is installed, you may need to create a symbolic link between `nodejs` and `node`. Consult your distro's manual and `whereis` to correctly create a link. See github [[issue 1434|http://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1434]]
