1. Install Node.js
   • Linux:

     Debian/Ubuntu:
     apt install nodejs
     May need to be followed up by:
     apt install npm

     Arch Linux
     yay -S tiddlywiki
     (installs node and tiddlywiki)

   • Mac

     brew install node

   • Android

     Termux for Android

   • Other

     See http://nodejs.org

2. Open a command line terminal and type:

   npm install -g tiddlywiki

   If it fails with an error you may need to re-run the command as an administrator:

   sudo npm install -g tiddlywiki (Mac/Linux)

3. Ensure TiddlyWiki is installed by typing:

   tiddlywiki --version

   • In response, you should see TiddlyWiki report its current version (eg "5.3.8". You may also see other debugging information reported.)
4. Try it out:
   1. tiddlywiki mynewwiki --init server to create a folder for a new wiki that includes server-related components
   2. tiddlywiki mynewwiki --listen to start TiddlyWiki
   3. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/ in your browser
   4. Try editing and creating tiddlers
5. Optionally, make an offline copy:
   • click the save changes button in the sidebar, OR
   • tiddlywiki mynewwiki --build index

The -g flag causes TiddlyWiki to be installed globally. Without it, TiddlyWiki will only be available in the directory where you installed it.
