Get code

This page includes information for obtaining the latest Tiki code.

There are several methods to download the latest Tiki code:



Using Stable 6.x (Long Term Support) from SVN

Use these steps to download the latest Tiki 6.x from SVN:

  1. Checkout the code.
    Checking out with SVN
    svn checkout https://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tikiwiki/branches/6.x


    Using the above command will checkout Tiki to a folder with the same name as the last part of the checkout command (in this case 6.x). If you wish to checkout to the current directory, just add "." to the end of the command line:
    Checking out to a Different Folder

Using Mods

If you want to checkout latest files for Mods, then you have to separately use:
Checking out Mods with SVN
svn checkout https://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tikiwiki/mods/trunk/ ./mods

Things in Tiki are changing rapidly. You may need to pick up your mod from http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/ and navigate down to mods > wiki-plugins. If you install the mod by hand like this, you need to put the .php file in ./lib/wiki-plugins/ (see also the sh fixperms.sh fix step herein).



Updating

  • Update either minor (ex.: from 6.x to 6.y) or major (ex.: 6.x to 8.x)

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
