Using DesktopWiki

Make sure that you've installed DesktopWiki so that the scripts installed are in PATH, and/or can be run from the directory that you are creating the Wiki in.

If you want to create a Wiki in $HOME/temp:

$ cd $HOME/temp
$ desktop-wiki-init-dir
$ desktop-wiki-start

You can now point your browser to http://0.0.0.0:9090 or http://localhost:9090, and DesktopWiki is up and running.

You can now create, edit and maintain Wiki's from your web browser.
