Visual Editor Install

Mediawiki's Visual Editor is not included with Mediawiki. It is an external add-on that requires a LOT of work to get working.

After you have MediaWiki installed (to a users' account NOT /var/www/mediawiki and working, do the following

1. cd extensions git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor.git cd VisualEditor</code> git submodule update --init</code>
2. Run This as Root from within the base wiki directory curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | bash -
3. Next we need to install Parsiod cd /opt mkdir src cd src clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/services/parsoid cp -rv ~/parsoid /opt/ cd /opt/parsoid/ npm install nano config.example.yaml FIND

1. - # This is the only required parameter, # the URL of you MediaWiki API endpoint. uri: 'http://wiki.ssdcougars.tv/api.php' # The "domain" is used for communication with Visual Editor # and RESTBase.  It defaults to the hostname portion of # the `uri` property below, but you can manually set it # to an arbitrary string. domain: 'wiki.ssdcougars.tv'  # optional # To specify a proxy (or proxy headers) specific to this prefix # (which overrides defaultAPIProxyURI). Alternatively, set `proxy` # to `null` to override and force no proxying when a default proxy # has been set. #proxy: #    uri: 'http://my.proxy:1234/' #    headers:  # optional #        'X-Forwarded-Proto': 'https'
