| 1 | This is by far the easiest way to install XWiki. We are offering 3 packaging for ease of installation: | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | * A Windows exe. Simply execute it and follow the instructions. Do not close the DOS Windows that shows up. This is the XWiki server running, instead point your browser to##{{{http://www.localhost:8080/}}}##. | ||
| 4 | * A generic Installer that works on all platforms. It requires Java to be installed on your system. Simply double-click on it and follow the instructions. | ||
| 5 | * A zip version. Unzip it in any ##XWIKIHOME## directory of your choice. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | The Windows installer creates shortcuts to start and stop XWiki in your Windows start menu. Launch the Wiki using "start". | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | If you've used the zip file or generic Installer, go to the directory where you've installed XWiki (##XWIKIHOME##) and run ##start_xwiki.bat## in Windows or ##start_xwiki.sh## on Unix. To stop it, run the ##stop_xwiki.bat## script on Windows and ##stop_xwiki.sh## on Unix or Mac. On Mac you will need to use "Open with Terminal" or run this script from the Terminal. | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Once XWiki is started point your browser to##{{{http://localhost:8080/}}}##and the go to the [[User's Guide>>enterprise:UserGuide.WebHome]] to learn how to use XWiki. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | In some cases, you might already have a Web Server running on port 8080. If this happens you have to pass another the port to the start script (e.g. by using the port 8081, as in ##start_xwiki.sh 8081##). | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | {{info}} | ||
| 16 | You can log in using the default ##Admin## user (first letter is capitalized). The default password is ##admin## (lowercase). | ||
| 17 | {{/info}} |
