Windows Installation (No Docker)

1. Install prerequisites

Git
Node.js 20+
PHP 8.1+ with required extensions for MediaWiki
One database option:
- SQLite for fast local tests, or
- MariaDB/MySQL for production-like behavior

2. Install project dependencies

npm install

3. Fetch MediaWiki source

npm run mw:init

Default branch is REL1_43 in scripts/mw-init.ps1. Adjust if needed.

4. Start local server

npm run dev

Open http://127.0.0.1:8080 and complete the MediaWiki web installer.

5. Save LocalSettings.php

After installer completion, place generated LocalSettings.php in mediawiki/.

6. Install Semantic MediaWiki

php .\composer.phar --working-dir=mediawiki require mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki "~6.0" --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader

Add to mediawiki/LocalSettings.php (after wfLoadSkin):

wfLoadExtension( 'SemanticMediaWiki' );
enableSemantics( '127.0.0.1:8080' );

Run the SMW database setup:

php mediawiki/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/setupStore.php --nochecks

7. Push wiki infrastructure pages

Templates, the sidebar, the document index, and category pages are maintained as .wiki files in scripts/templates/. Push them once after a fresh install:

$php = "D:\xampp\php\php.exe"
$mw  = "mediawiki\maintenance\run.php"
$usr = "Gxplex admin"   # replace with your admin username

$pages = @{
    "Template:RegDocument"              = "scripts\templates\RegDocument.wiki"
    "Template:Reference"                = "scripts\templates\Reference.wiki"
    "MediaWiki:Sidebar"                 = "scripts\templates\Sidebar.wiki"
    "Document Index"                    = "scripts\templates\DocumentIndex.wiki"
    "Category:Medical Devices"          = "scripts\templates\Cat_MedicalDevices.wiki"
    "Category:In Vitro Diagnostics"     = "scripts\templates\Cat_IVD.wiki"
    "Category:Clinical"                 = "scripts\templates\Cat_Clinical.wiki"
    "Category:Post-Market Surveillance" = "scripts\templates\Cat_PostMarket.wiki"
    "Category:Labelling"                = "scripts\templates\Cat_Labelling.wiki"
    "Main_Page"                         = "scripts\templates\MainPage.wiki"
}

foreach ($title in $pages.Keys) {
    Get-Content $pages[$title] -Raw | & $php $mw edit --user $usr --summary "Initial setup" $title
}

Then rebuild the SMW data index:

php mediawiki/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/rebuildData.php

8. Run accessibility checks

npm run a11y:all
