Command to check your OS, for this project we will be using Armbian:

$ cat /etc/os-release

Download mediawiki:

Unzip the tar:

$ tar -xzvf mediawiki-*.tar.gz

MediaWiki requires:

- PHP 7.4.3+

- a webserver software

- and either MariaDB 10.3.0+, MySQL 5.7.0+, SQLite 3.8.0+ or PostgreSQL 10.0+. Using MariaDB or MySQL is recommended as Wikipedia uses MariaDB.

Install PHP:

$ sudo apt-get install php-fpm

Check the version:

$ php -v

Check the version of nginx:

$ nginx -v

Install database software (MariaDB):

$ sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

Set up nginx configuration to serve the wiki. Here’s an example nginx configuration:

Make a symbolic link (symlink) between the configurations in /sites-available and /sites-enabled:

$ ln sites-available/wiki2print.conf sites-enabled/wiki2print.conf

First, check if the nginx configuration works, before reloading:

$ nginx -t

If it works, hold your breath and reload nginx:

$ sudo systemctl reload nginx

or

$ service nginx reload

Edit the wiki2print.conf file, based on this example:

Enable PHP. Installing some PHP extensions are required:

$ sudo apt install php-mbstring

$ sudo apt install php-xml

$ sudo apt install php-intl

sudo apt install php my-sql
