More information Release notes Manual:Installation guide Manual:Upgrading Version lifecycle System requirements MediaWiki requires PHP 8.3.0+, a webserver software, and either MariaDB 10.3.0+, MySQL 5.7.0+, SQLite 3.31.0+ or PostgreSQL 10.0+. Using MariaDB or MySQL is recommended as Wikipedia uses MariaDB. Any other database servers are less tested and you may likely run into some bugs. For more information, please read the pages on system requirements and compatibility. Download via command line To download MediaWiki 1.46.0 in a terminal on a Linux machine using wget, do: wget https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.46/mediawiki-1.46.0.tar.gz Alternatively, using cURL: curl -O https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.46/mediawiki-1.46.0.tar.gz Signature downloads GPG security signatures to verify your download with GNU Privacy Guard: MediaWiki 1.46.0 – stable MediaWiki 1.45.4 – legacy MediaWiki 1.43.9 – long-term support (LTS) GPG keys Alternatives to manual installation Some users may prefer to skip manual installation by using a pre-integrated MediaWiki software appliance or hosting services. Repositories of some Linux distributions also increasingly offer packages for MediaWiki, with different degrees of frequency and extensions coverage e.g. Debian (including derivatives like Ubuntu), Fedora, Gentoo. Security and update announcements Subscribe to our release announcements mailing list. Stay up to date with releases, and keep your server secure! Legacy releases If your MediaWiki installation is heavily modified, it may be difficult to incorporate the latest official changes/updates to MediaWiki. To support such users, we maintain old branches of our code for up to a year for the legacy release and up to three years for the legacy long term support release. Development releases To contribute to the development of MediaWiki core or extensions, Download from Git to get the latest version. For more information about setting up a development environment, see How to become a MediaWiki hacker . Keep in mind that you are downloading the latest alpha version of MediaWiki, which is not recommended for production use! Although this can be used in production, it is more likely to contain bugs. Old releases You can find tarballs (with extension *.tar.gz) of old versions of MediaWiki in the MediaWiki download archives. Some missing releases are available as tags of the Git repository.
