These instructions are based on a blog posting. They assume that you are working in a POSIX-like environment (some form of Unix, e.g. Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, etc). If these instructions do not work for you see Installing TiddlyWeb. Note that these instructions use easy_install which is no longer the preferred way to install TiddlyWeb. pip is now preferred.

N.B: These instructions don't go into detail on how things work or why. If you need that information please follow the more detailed information at Installing TiddlyWeb.

• sudo easy_install -U tiddlywebwiki
  
• twinstance myname
  
• cd myname
  
• twanager server
  
  

Then open http://0.0.0.0:8080/recipes/default/tiddlers.wiki or xdg-open http://0.0.0.0:8080/recipes/default/tiddlers.wiki. If you don't have one of those commands open your browser to the shown URL. In your browser you will now see a TiddlyWiki hosted on TiddlyWeb. When you make edits and additions they will be saved to the server.

For this to work you need a fairly modern system with Python and Python's setuptools installed.

Some people have reported that the second step fails reporting an ImportError. When this happens it means the first step did not fully install all the tiddlyweb dependencies, and you'll have to install them separately using easy_install. The ImportError will report what is missing. See Troubleshooting easy_install.

Note that easy_install is not the preferred package install tool for TiddlyWeb, pip is. easy_install is used here because it is more likely to be already present on a machine.
