Installation of KnowWE requires the Java Platform, JRE 8 or higher. KnowWE runs on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.
We officially support Firefox 3.6 or higher and Google Chrome. Currently, the Internet Explorer is not officially supported but IE 11 should work.
Installation of KnowWE requires the __Java SE Development Kit (JDK)__ in version 8 or newer. A JRE is not sufficient since the release [Watney|Watney - Release Notes]. For operating systems, the distribution runs with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
We officially support Firefox 3.6 or higher and Google Chrome. Currently, the Internet Explorer and Safari is not officially supported, although Internet Explorer 11/Edge and Safari should work fine.

The binary distribution comes as a packaged installation, including Apache Tomcat 6 ([http://tomcat.apache.org/|http://tomcat.apache.org/]) and JSPWiki 2.8.2 ([http://www.jspwiki.org|http://www.jspwiki.org]).\\
Just unzip the package and copy the resulting folder to your desired location. You are then ready to start KnowWE.
There are different distribution packages available for KnowWE. Older releases just provided the semantic wiki part of the d3web-KnowWE project (the folder {{KnowWE-Tomcat}} also referenced below). Since the release [Watney|Watney - Release Notes], we switched to a more comprehensive distribution package, which also contains the core libraries of d3web (to embed and run d3web knowledge bases in your own software or app) and documentation and sources for both. So the downloadable zip file now contains the following folders:

* __Backup:__ If you are using a previous version of KnowWE, then move your KnowWE folder to a different location. Make sure that you are able to reuse the wiki articles you have created before.
* __Content (optional):__ If you have used KnowWE before, you may copy your {{wikicontent}} directory to the unpacked {{KnowWE-Tomcat/wikicontent}} directory of the new installation.
* __Windows users:__ Please be aware to set the system variable for Java before starting KnowWE: Set JRE_HOME for an installed JRE and JAVA_HOME for an installed JDK to the folder of the Java installation.
* __Linux/Mac users:__ When unpacking the KnowWE-Tomcat archive, sometimes the user rights are not correctly set. In this case, you may simply add read/write access to the entire KnowWE-Tomcat folder (including sub-directories), for instance by "{{chmod -R 777 *}}".
To install KnowWE, just extract the downloaded distribution zip file to any location and then navigate to the folder KnowWE inside it. There, extract the file {{KnowWE-Tomcat.zip}} to the destination you want to run KnowWE from (like your program or application directory). Basically it is an Apache Tomcat ([http://tomcat.apache.org/]) web server, pre-configured with the KnowWE webapp.

The standard KnowWE installation comes with the standard file provider, that does not support version control of the wiki content.
You can change the file provider as well as other configurations (e.g., the folder of the wiki content, the encoding, or the style templates) in the file
JSPWiki (on which KnowWE is build) provides the configuration file {{jspwiki-custom.properties}}, which can be used to configure stuff like the folder of the wiki files, templates, application name, and more. See [https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Configuration] for more information.\\
