PmWiki / Requirements
administrators (basic)
Prerequisites for running the PmWiki wiki engine:
PmWiki has been reported to work with the following OS/webserver combinations:
- Apache 1.3 or 2.0, on roughly anything (Unix, Linux, Windows, and Mac OS/X)
- Apache 2.2 or later is recommended
- Microsoft Internet Information Server, on Windows
- Linux + LiteSpeedWeb Server Standard Edition
- appWeb (a small, php-enabled webserver) executing on a Linksys NSLU2 Network Storage Link device
PmWiki has been reported not to work on:
- Mac OS before Mac OS X because there's no PHP available
- Specific Release Candidate builds of PHP 5.3 for Windows may not work correctly with passwords
The Standalone recipe provides a special, bare-bones webserver application that can be used to run PmWiki in places where another webserver isn't available.
PmWiki can also be run from a USB drive.

But you can get everything dirty without getting anything clean.
