Quick installation guide

For experienced users only, here is the quick version of the
installation instructions. Most users will want to read the more
detailed version, below.

1. Check that your system meets the minimum requirements (web server, PHP5 (do not use 5.3.1; 5.3.2+ is OK, 5.3.3 is released), and either MySQL4 (and later) or PostgreSQL 8.1 (and later)).
2. Download MediaWiki (direct link to latest version) and extract the archive to a web-accessible folder on your server.
3. Point your browser to the directory where you extracted it (e.g., http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php, if installed on a local machine, otherwise localhost should be your domain).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

These instructions are deliberately brief. There is a lot that could
go wrong, so if in any doubt, you are advised to read the full
instructions below.
