Welcome to <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>
TiddlyWiki5</a>, a reboot of <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>
TiddlyWiki</a>, the non-linear personal web notebook <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/History.html'>
first released in 2004</a>. It is a complete interactive wiki in <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-missing'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/JavaScript.html'>
JavaScript</a> that can be run from a single HTML file in the browser or as a powerful <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/node.js.html'>
TiddlyWiki</a> is designed to fit around your brain, giving you a better way of managing information than traditional documents and emails. The fundamental idea is that information is more useful and reusable if we cut it up into the smallest semantically meaningful chunks –<aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/Tiddlers.html'>
tiddlers</a>– and give them titles so that they can be structured with links, tags and macros. <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>
TiddlyWiki</a> aims to provide a fluid interface for working with tiddlers, allowing them to be aggregated and composed into longer narratives.</p><p>
TiddlyWiki5</a> has many <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/Improvements.html'>
improvements</a> over the original. It is currently labelled alpha, meaning it is working but incomplete. It is a great time to get involved and support its <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/RoadMap.html'>
TiddlyWiki5</a> can be used on the command line to perform an extensive set of operations based on tiddlers, <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlerFiles.html'>
TiddlerFiles</a> and <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-missing'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWikiFiles.html'>
TiddlyWikiFiles</a>. For example, this loads the tiddlers from a <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>
TiddlyWiki</a> HTML file and then saves one of them in HTML:</p><pre>
tiddlywiki.js</code> from the command line boots the <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html'>
TiddlyWiki</a> kernel, loads the core plugins and establishes an empty wiki store. It then sequentially processes the command line arguments from left to right. The arguments are separated with spaces.</p><p>
The first argument is the optional path to the <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-missing'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/WikiDirectory.html'>
WikiDirectory</a> to be loaded. If not present, then the current directory is used.</p><p>
TiddlyWiki5</a> out under node.js, several batch files are provided:</p><h3class=''>
<code>
bld.sh</code> builds tw5.com</h3><p>
This batch file builds several variants of <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>
TiddlyWiki5</a> for deployment on tiddlywiki.com.</p><p>
By default, files are output to a folder called <code>
jermolene.github.com</code> in the same directory as the main <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>
* /TiddlyWork/ - Directory for working with TiddlyWiki5
* /TiddlyWork/TiddlyWiki5/ - Directory containing the TiddlyWiki5 repo from GitHub
* /TiddlyWork/jermolene.github.com/ - Directory for output files</pre><p>
You can override the build output directory by defining the environment variable <code>
TW5_BUILD_OUTPUT</code>. The easiest way to do this is to create a personal batch file to invoke <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-missing'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWik5i.html'>
TiddlyWik5i</a> that first sets the environment variable and then invokes <code>

This batch file starts <aclass='tw-tiddlylink tw-tiddlylink-internal tw-tiddlylink-resolves'href='http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki5.html'>
TiddlyWiki5</a> running as an HTTP server with the content from the <code>
clientserver</code> edition. By default, the script serves on port 8080.</p><p>
To experiment with this configuration, run the script and then visit <code>
http://0.0.0.0:8080</code> in a browser. Currently changes do get synced to the server but the server doesn't yet save the changes back to the file system. Thus the best way to experiment with this edition is by visiting it in two different browsers, exploring how the changes made in one browser propogate to the other.</p><h3class=''>

TiddlyWiki5</a> is an old-school wiki in the sense that it offers no authentication.</p><p>
At the root, it serves a rendering of a specified tiddler. Away from the root, it serves individual tiddlers encoded in JSON, and supports the basic HTTP operations for <code>
