slim wiki is a fast and slim wiki based on PHP and markdown.

Check out the demo website for more details and features.

1. Install node.js (this includes npm)

2. Install grunt globally:

    sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
   

3. Install grunt dependencies in project:

    cd src
    npm install
   

Note: node.js is only used by grunt for the build. Slim wiki uses PHP to run on server-side.

Build client:

cd src
grunt

Now link the project directory to a locally installed Apache Webserver with PHP and mod_rewrite enabled.

Go to the browser and open one of:

• http://localhost/path/to/src/ - for the development version using the source JavaScript files.
• http://localhost/path/to/dist/ - for the production version using compressed CSS and JavaScript.

Build automatically on source changes (watch mode):

cd src
grunt watch

Build a release zip:

cd src
grunt release

1. Build the project (see above).
2. Copy the contents of the dist directory to your webspace.
3. Create a config.php (copy and adjust the example).
4. Give write permissions to the server for the directory data (including subdirectories and files).

• Bootstrap - Basic CSS styling.
• Parsedown - PHP markdown parser.
• prism - JavaScript syntax highlighter.
• CodeMirror - JavaScript in-browser code editor.
• Tocbot - JavaScript table of contents generator.
• Vanilla JS - No jQuery. Instead standard DOM API in order to make things fast and slim.

• Slim wiki is inspired by Wikitten. I have used some of their ideas, but technically slim wiki is a complete rewrite.
• Thanks to Daring Fireball for inventing Markdown.
• Thanks to GitHub for hosting this project and for some great enhancements to Markdown.
