WiKit and TclKit were designed to run out-of-the-box, with no installation or configuration whatsoever.
This goes beyond what you are probably used to with software applications as elaborate as WiKit.

Enough said, '''let's get you started''':

   1. Grab a compressed copy of [the Tcl'ers Wiki] at http://mini.net/cgi-bin/wikit.gz (or an empty Wiki at [http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/examples/wikit.bin])
   1. Uncompress it to '''wikit.tkd'''
   1. Grab the appropriate runtime of [TclKit] for your system at http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/
   1. Uncompress and rename it to '''tclkit''' (leave as is on Windows)
   1. Make both files executable: '''chmod a+rx wikit.tkd tclkit'''
   1. Type '''tclkit wikit.tkd''' ... and you should be up and running

''Welcome to WiKit!''

You can put "tclkit" anywhere on your $PATH, it's just a runtime.
The file "wikit.tkd" is an executable "[scripted document]" (containing all the scripts as well as a database with all the pages), and typing just "wikit.tkd" (or "./wikit.tkd") should also work.  In fact, you can put "wikit.tkd" anywhere on your $PATH as well.

WiKit does not require [Tcl/Tk] or MetaKit [http://www.equi4.com/metakit/] to be installed separately on your system - nor does it care if they are (or will be, one day).  Everything is wrapped up inside the TclKit standalone excutable.  To uninstall WiKit: delete these two files again.  To use this on another machine: move them.  If it's a different platform: switch to the proper TclKit runtime and move only the "wikit.tkd" file.

That's all there is to it.

I Tried to run it (local) in a Win98 machine. When I run it at the firs time OK, but the second time I try, a "Fatal error" message box appears with the following message:

 couldn't read file "C:/wikit.bin/Html_library.tcl": No error

What am I doing wrong?

[JCW] - ''You're hitting a bug in the April 30 tclkits - I seem to have botched the compatibility with older docs.  Please grab updated builds [http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/newer/].''

It works now! Thanks! [MRS]

'''May 9, 2002''' - There is a new version of wikit, see the WiKit home page at  [http://www.equi4.com/wikit/].  It differs from the previous code in that it keeps the wiki data in a ''separate'' MetaKit datafile, while the code is now a standard scripted document.  This is not a rewrite, but it does consolidate all the latest changes, clean up lots of internal messiness, and it's much easier to alter without losing existing wikit page contents.  This version can in fact be used ''alongside'' an existing "wikit.tkd" file, and manage the pages in it while ignoring the original scripts stored in wikit.tkd ...

This code will be used for the Tcl'ers Wiki itself real soon (just a bit more tweaking, testing, and a few more changes) -[JCW]
