SID-00121: Adding Plugins in the Debian environment

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.0.4	Perl version:	don't know
Category:	CategoryPlugins	Server OS:	Debian	Last update:	17 years ago

Hi, I am new to TWiki. I successfully downloaded and installed TWiki, using the virtual Debian machine. How can I add new plugins? The relevant page says I should add them to some folders, but I don't know where these are located on my machine. (In the twiki folder where I installed the Debian, there are no such paths like "/bin" etc.)

Thanks a lot, Jakob

Discussion and Answer

Web based install: Run the configure script in your browser by replacing /view/ with /configure/ of TWiki URL.

You can also install plugins manually on the shell. Look for the base directory of TWiki in your distribution, such as var/www/twiki/. Install your plugins into that directory tree. Watch out for file ownership, should be accessible by webserver user.
