2.8.2 Creating a Daisy Wiki Site

The Daisy Wiki has the concept of multiple sites, these are multiple views on top of the same repository. You need at least one site to do something useful with the Daisy Wiki, so we are now going to create one.

Open a command prompt or shell and set an environment variable DAISY_HOME, pointing to the directory where Daisy is installed.

Go to the directory <DAISY_HOME>/install, and execute:

daisy-wiki-add-site

The application starts by asking the same parameters as for daisy-wiki-init.

Then it will ask a name for the site. This should be a name without spaces. If you're inspirationless, enter something like "test" or "main".

Then it will ask for the sites directory location, for which the presented default should be OK, so just press enter.
