Forum:Download this wiki to use local like mediawiki?

I want to download this kind of wiki to use with XAMPP on a localhost like I would mediawiki. I want to use this one because it is a WYSIWYG and mediawiki is not and its coding and I don't know how to do that. So is this possible?

 * He wasn't asking for a database dump, he was asking how to download the wikia software instead of mediawiki so he can use the WYSIWYG editor. -452 07:21, November 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh! You want something that most of us want to get rid of... Well you may try Github.— 07:57, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

 * 68.177.150.174, take a look at http://github.com/Wikia/ - and good luck, because there doesn't appear to be any installation instructions for beginners. -452 08:04, November 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Is this the same thing as mediawiki because I just downloaded it and it says mediawiki?
 * Wikia uses mediawiki, with some custom additions. See Special:Version. -452 03:46, November 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * The code you download from github will allow you to simulate most of the Wikia server environment, but can't be used to run a complete localhost server. To do that, you would need the proper database configuration, and there is no public documentation on that. You're better off learning wikitext - it's really not that hard. Help:Wikitext has all the basics. You don't have to learn it all at once, you can start with links (just ) and work your way up to more complex stuff like tables. It's a much faster way to edit, and you'll never get weird errors. It's not so much a "What You See Is What You Get" editor as it is a "What You Don't See Is What Causes Your Problems" editor.


 * You could also try to use The WikiEditor Extension Wikimedia uses, if you want a WYSIWYG editor. It works on a standard MediaWiki installation. 04:11, November 19, 2012 (UTC)
