This is a page dedicated to step by step instructions for installing, using, and configuring the [Wub] web server.

Much of this is already documented [http://wub.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/QuickStart] but it doesn't hurt to restate it.

**1. Install Tcl 8.6**
Wub depends on features only available in Tcl 8.6.  One option is to install ActiveTcl 8.6 on your platform.


***Install ActiveTcl 8.6 on Linux (32 bit)***

The urls may change, but the game remains the same: download ActiveTcl 8.6, decompress it, run the install script, update teacup, and use teacup to get all the ActiveTcl goodies.

======
    wget http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/Linux/8.6.0/ActiveTcl8.6.0.0b2.291226-linux-ix86-threaded.tar.gz
    tar -zxvf ActiveTcl8.6.0.0b2.291226-linux-ix86-threaded.tar.gz
    cd ActiveTcl8.6.0.0b2.291226-linux-ix86-threaded
    ./install.sh
    cd /opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/bin
    ./teacup update-self
    ./teacup update    
======


**2. Install Wub**
Since Wub is under active development, it is highly recommended that you download the latest source from wub.googlecode.com.  You'll need a subversion version control client to do this.  On debian / ubuntu, you can install subversion via apt-get:

======
    sudo apt-get install subversion
======

Then download wub:

======
    svn checkout http://wub.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ wub
======

*** Alternative for the svn-challenged: ***

Download http://wub.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Install.tcl into a clean directory, then run it under tclsh 8.6.  Install is a [single command http fetcher] using coroutines to politely fetch Wub from googlecode into that directory.
