The deep internal improvements mean that <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>TiddlyWiki5</a> is not fully compatible with older versions. Existing content will need massaging, while plugins and themes will have to be completely rewritten. The upgrade path will get smoother as <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>TiddlyWiki5</a> matures.</p><p>The original <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>TiddlyWiki</a> Classic is still available at <a class='tw-tiddlylink-external' href='http://tiddlywiki.com/' target='_blank'>http://tiddlywiki.com/</a>.

</p><h1 class=''>Getting started with <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>TiddlyWiki</a> under Node.js</h1><p><a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>TiddlyWiki5</a> can be used on the command line to perform an extensive set of operations based on tiddlers, <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWikiFolders.html'>TiddlyWikiFolders</a>, <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlerFiles.html'>TiddlerFiles</a> and <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-missing' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWikiFiles.html'>TiddlyWikiFiles</a>. For example, the following command loads the tiddlers from a <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>TiddlyWiki</a> HTML file and then saves one of them in HTML:</p><pre>node tiddlywiki.js --verbose --load mywiki.html --rendertiddler ReadMe ./readme.html</pre><p>In order to use <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>TiddlyWiki5</a> on the command line you must first install node.js from <a class='tw-tiddlylink-external' href='http://nodejs.org/' target='_blank'>http://nodejs.org/</a></p><h2 class=''>Usage</h2><p>Running <code>tiddlywiki.js</code> from the command line boots the <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>TiddlyWiki</a> kernel, loads the core plugins and establishes an empty wiki store. It then sequentially processes the command line arguments from left to right. The arguments are separated with spaces.</p><p>The first argument is the optional path to the <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWikiFolders.html'>TiddlyWikiFolder</a> to be loaded. If not present, then the current directory is used.</p><p>The commands and their individual arguments follow, each command being identified by the prefix <code>--</code>.</p><pre>node tiddlywiki.js [&lt;wikipath&gt;] [--&lt;command&gt; [&lt;arg&gt;[,&lt;arg&gt;]]]</pre><h2 class=''>Script Files</h2><p>For trying <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>TiddlyWiki5</a> out under Node.js, several scripts are provided (.sh for *nix and .cmd for Windows):</p><h3 class=''><code>bld</code>: builds tw5.com</h3><p>This script builds several variants of <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>TiddlyWiki5</a> for deployment on tiddlywiki.com.</p><p>By default, files are output to a folder called <code>jermolene.github.com</code>, sibling to the <a class=' tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-resolves' href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>TiddlyWiki5</a> source directory. For example:</p><pre>/TiddlyWork/ - Directory for working with TiddlyWiki5

	/jermolene.github.com/ - Directory for output files</pre><p>You can override the build output directory by defining the environment variable <code>TW5_BUILD_OUTPUT</code>.
