Installing MediaWiki simply requires downloading it, dumping it on your server and navigating to a webpage, which configures it for you. Most issues can be solved with a simple Google search. Being good with linux and PHP certainly helps, but there is a huge amount of documentation on it.

The main problem is financing it - adverts on a small wiki aren't worth it as the revenue is minimal.
