The following commands should be run as "root" (or as a user with root privileges).

Add the MindTouch repository

Edit the "/etc/apt/sources.list" file to add the following line : 

deb http://repo.mindtouch.com xUbuntu_8.04/

 Type the following command to update your package indexes:

# apt-get update

Install recommended packages

Type the following command to install packages that will enable Deki Wiki's full functionality:

# apt-get install html2ps poppler-utils wv gs tidy links msttcorefonts cabextract

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

Install PrinceXML

To enable HTML-to-PDF printing, PrinceXML must be installed by entering the following commands:

# wget http://www.princexml.com/download/prince_6.0r6-1_i386.deb

Configure the Apache Virtual Host

After the install has finished, edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/dekiwiki and change the ServerName to match the URL 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 Deki Wiki.

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

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