Add the MindTouch repository

Also in that file, you'll need to find the following lines:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main 
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main 

and edit them to look like this:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib 
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib

Type the following command to update your package indexes:

# apt-get update

Install MindTouch Deki

Install MindTouch Deki using the following command :

Note: Installation of some dependencies may require interaction. Answer "yes" to all authentication/verification questions.

Configure the Apache Virtual Host

After the install has finished, edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/dekiwiki and change the ServerName to match the hostname that you will be entering into the web browser to arrive at your wiki. This will allow the Apache virtual host to direct traffic to MindTouch Deki.

Enter the following command to enable MindTouch Deki in Apache and disable the initial default site:

# a2ensite dekiwiki
# a2dissite default

Once that has been done, enter the following line to reload Apache:
