TWiki System Requirements
Server and client system requirements for TWiki 01-Sep-2001Overview
Maintaining minimum client and server requirements is necessary to keep TWiki deployment as broad as possible.Server Requirements
TWiki is written in Perl 5, uses a number of shell commands, and requires RCS (Revision Control System)
, a GNU Free Software package. TWiki is developed in a basic Linux/Apache environment. It also works with Microsoft Windows, and should have no problem on any other platform that meets the requirements:
| Required Server Environment | ||
|---|---|---|
| Resource | Unix | Windows |
| Perl | 5.005_03 or higher | |
| Non standard Perl modules | Net::SMTP (or sendmail) |
Net::SMTP, MIME::Base64, Digest::SHA1 |
| RCS | 5.7 or higher | |
| Other external programs | ls, fgrep, egrep |
|
| Web server | Apache; others (with support for CGI, authentication, extended path) * | |
installation guide is next.
Client Requirements
The TWiki standard installation has extremely low browser requirements:- HTML 3.2 compliant
- generates XHTML 1.0 pages that are compatible with HTML 3.2
- minimal use of JavaScript in the user interface (degrades gracefully)
- no cookies
- no CSS
Known Issues
- The new TWikiPlugins feature currently does not have compatibility guidelines for developers. Plugins can require just about anything: browser-specific functions, stylesheets (CSS), DHTML, Java applets, cookies.
