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

Add the MindTouch Repository

Enter the following command to add the MindTouch Deki repository:

# zypper addrepo http://repo.mindtouch.com/openSUSE_10.3/  MindTouch

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

Install MindTouch Deki

# zypper install dekiwiki

Install PrinceXML

In order to enable exporting HTML to PDF, PrinceXML must be installed by entering the following commands. During the Prince XML installation, change the default file location to /usr/bin/prince to allow it to be scanned during the web-based Deki setup:

# wget http://www.princexml.com/download/prince-6.0r6-linux.tar.gz
# tar xfzv prince-6.0r6-linux.tar.gz 
# cd prince-6.0r6-linux
# ./install.sh

To enable PrinceXML to utilize the fonts that Deki ships with, edit /var/www/dekiwiki/skins/prince.content.css and add the following lines:

@font-face {
        font-family: sans-serif;
        src: url("/skins/fonts/gentium-basic/GenBkBasR.ttf");
}
@font-face {
        font-family: serif;
        src: url("/skins/fonts/gentium-basic/GenBkBasR.ttf");
}
@font-face {
        font-family: monospace;
        src: url("/skins/fonts/gentium-basic/GenBkBasR.ttf");
}

Congratulations! MindTouch Deki is now installed and you should be able to connect to "http://your_server/config/index.php" to complete the configuration.
