Explanation

Warning

WIP: the whole documentation for the Installation topic is being under refactoring. Complete documentation is still in Installation.

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.

FAQ

Can I try XWiki without installing anything?

Yes, you can try XWiki in the cloud. This is by far the simplest to try XWiki since you don't need to install anything.
