The MediaWiki Visual Editor (operational since 2013 and more fully deployed on Wikipedia since 2014) is a Wysiwyg editor. It requires two components:
MediaWiki 1.23 installation notes
- Upgrade to the latest version
cd installdir git pull
- Download and install the extension
cd installdir git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor.git cd VisualEditor git submodule update --init
- backtrack to an older version !!
git checkout REL1_23
- Download and install the parsoid
This depends on your OS. For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS you cannot use the official distro as explained in the official setup documentation.
Firstly edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://parsoid.wmflabs.org:8080/debian wmf-production/
Then get a different NodJS first
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs=0.10*
nodejs --version # should now print v0.10.x
