Welcome to TiddlyWiki, a non-linear personal web notebook that anyone can use and keep forever, independently of any corporation.
TiddlyWiki is a complete interactive wiki in JavaScript. It can be used as a single HTML file in the browser or as a powerful Node.js application. It is highly customisable: the entire user interface is itself implemented in hackable WikiText.

Installing TiddlyWiki on Node.js
- Install Node.js
- either from your favourite package manager: typically
apt-get install nodejs
on Debian/Ubuntu Linux or Termux for Android, orbrew install node
on a Mac - or directly from http://nodejs.org
- either from your favourite package manager: typically
- 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) - Check TiddlyWiki is installed by typing:
tiddlywiki --version
- In response, you should see TiddlyWiki report its current version (eg "5.1.22"; 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 componentstiddlywiki 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 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.
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
Example Debian v8.0: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
You can also install prior versions like this:
npm install -g tiddlywiki@5.1.13
Using TiddlyWiki on Node.js
TiddlyWiki5 includes a set of Commands for use on the command line to perform an extensive set of operations based on TiddlyWikiFolders, TiddlerFiles and TiddlyWikiFiles.
For example, the following command loads the tiddlers from a TiddlyWiki HTML file and then saves one of them in static HTML:
tiddlywiki --verbose --load mywiki.html --rendertiddler ReadMe ./readme.html
Running tiddlywiki
from the command line boots the TiddlyWiki 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.
New in: 5.1.20 First, there can be zero or more plugin references identified by the prefix +
for plugin names or ++
for a path to a plugin folder. These plugins are loaded in addition to any specified in the TiddlyWikiFolder.
The next argument is the optional path to the TiddlyWikiFolder to be loaded. If not present, then the current directory is used.
The commands and their individual arguments follow, each command being identified by the prefix --
.
tiddlywiki [+<pluginname> | ++<pluginpath>] [<wikipath>] [--<command> [<arg>[,<arg>]]]
For example:
tiddlywiki --version
tiddlywiki +plugins/tiddlywiki/filesystem +plugins/tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb mywiki --listen
tiddlywiki ++./mygreatplugin mywiki --listen
New in: 5.1.18 Commands such as the ListenCommand that support large numbers of parameters can use NamedCommandParameters to make things less unwieldy. For example:
tiddlywiki wikipath --listen username=jeremy port=8090
See Commands for a full listing of the available commands.
Upgrading TiddlyWiki on Node.js
If you've installed TiddlyWiki on Node.js on the usual way, when a new version is released you can upgrade it with this command:
npm update -g tiddlywiki
On Mac or Linux you'll need to add sudo like this:
sudo npm update -g tiddlywiki
