TWiki Implementation Notes

Platform

TWiki is written in Perl 5 and uses also some shell commands. The current implementation runs best on a Unix machine, but it is also possible on Microsoft Windows. RCS (for revision control) must be installed on the system.

Directory Structure

Directory: Used for:
twiki/bin TWiki Perl scripts
twiki/bin/TWiki TWiki Perl modules
twiki/bin/TWiki/Plugins Plugins modules
twiki/pub Public files (FileAttachments, images)
twiki/data source text
twiki/templates HTML templates, used by TWiki scripts

Note: You could move the twiki/bin/TWiki library directory (including Plugins ) to twiki/lib/TWiki; the scripts look for a "." and "../lib" relative library path.
