Define for the server edition the same build targets as for the empty edition, but using the correct template so that the "offline" version (target "index") works correctly when accessed via HTTP. With this, `tiddlywiki --build index` is equivalent to the save button. While the process of setting up TiddlyWiki on Node.js is well documented and easy enough, the options for publishing such a wiki to an offline version (scriptably, e.g. for push-to-deploy setups) are decidedly non-obvious. With the added build steps, the user only needs to know three simple commands: tiddlywiki --init server tiddlywiki --server tiddlywiki --build index and optionally tiddlywiki --build static

title: Installing TiddlyWiki on Node.js
|
|
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki
|
|
|
|
# Install [[Node.js]] from 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)
|
|
# Check TiddlyWiki is installed by typing:
|
|
#> `tiddlywiki --version`
|
|
# In response, you should see TiddlyWiki report its current version (eg "<<version>>"; 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 --server` 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 {{$:/core/images/save-button}} ''Save changes'' button in the sidebar, ''OR''
|
|
#* `tiddlywiki --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 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]]

Example Debian v8.0: `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node`
