Installation
Explanation
XWiki is a Java-based wiki application that runs inside a Servlet Container (such as Tomcat or Jetty) and uses a relational database to store its content. XWiki can run on most common databases (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL), provided that supported versions and proper drivers are used.
Both the application and the database must be correctly configured for XWiki to function properly, except when using installation methods intended for non-production environments.
There are multiple installation methods available, depending on the intended usage and deployment context. Each installation method has its prerequisites.
