How to install Dokuwiki ?

DokuWiki Version Check

If you have already a Dokuwiki Installation, you should have the last version. We support the previous version only a couple of month.

You can check the version of your installation:

• by logging in as an admin (superuser)
• and use the do=check parameter to your wiki's URL. Eg:

http://yourdomain/yourwiki/doku.php?do=check

You should get the latest. For instance, in 2023, on December 10th it was:

DokuWiki version: Release 2024-02-06 "Kaos"

If you don't have the last version, we recommend to install the Upgrade plugin and to upgrade your installation.

Dokuwiki Installation

If you don't have a Dokuwiki Instance, you can install it as follow:

• Download the last Dokuwiki,
• Verify that your php server has the minimum requirements:
  • php version supported: 7.4 to 8.2
  • and php extensions
• Upload the zip file to your web server
• Unzip it to your web directory
• Access the installer script at https://yourdomain.com/install.php
• Answer the install form. Choose:
  • at minimal the ACL option, otherwise you get no access to the admin page
  • the read permission, otherwise the logo and favicon will not render
• Done
