`apt install nodejs`
May need to be followed up by:
`apt install npm` #*> //Arch Linux//
`yay -S tiddlywiki`
(installs node and tiddlywiki) #* Mac #*> `brew install node` #* Android #*> [[Termux for Android|Serving TW5 from Android]] #* Other #*> See http://nodejs.org # Open a command line terminal and type: #> `npm install -g tiddlywiki` #> If it fails with an error you may need to re-run the command as an administrator: #> `sudo npm install -g tiddlywiki` (Mac/Linux) # Ensure ~TiddlyWiki is installed by typing: #> `tiddlywiki --version` #* In response, you should see TiddlyWiki report its current version (eg "<>". You may also see other debugging information reported.) # Try it out: ## `tiddlywiki mynewwiki --init server` to create a folder for a new wiki that includes server-related components ## `tiddlywiki mynewwiki --listen` to start TiddlyWiki ## Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/ in your browser ## Try editing and creating tiddlers # Optionally, make an offline copy: #* click the <<.icon $:/core/images/save-button>> ''save changes'' button in the sidebar, ''OR'' #* `tiddlywiki mynewwiki --build index` The `-g` flag causes TiddlyWiki to be installed globally. Without it, TiddlyWiki will only be available in the directory where you installed it. <<.warning "If you are using Debian or Debian-based Linux and you are receiving 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]].

Example Debian v8.0: `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node`">>
<<.tip "You can also install prior versions like this:
npm install -g tiddlywiki@5.1.13">>
