Welcome to TiddlyWiki, a non-linear personal web notebook that anyone can use and keep forever, independently of any corporation.

TiddlyWiki is a complete interactive wiki in JavaScript. It can be used as a single HTML file in the browser or as a powerful Node.js application. It is highly customisable: the entire user interface is itself implemented in hackable WikiText.

Learn more and see it in action at https://tiddlywiki.com/

Developer documentation is in progress at https://tiddlywiki.com/dev/

Installing TiddlyWiki on Node.js

  1. Install Node.js
  2. Open a command line terminal and type:

    npm install -g tiddlywiki

    If it fails with an error you may need to re-run the command as an administrator:

    sudo npm install -g tiddlywiki (Mac/Linux)

  3. Check TiddlyWiki is installed by typing:

    tiddlywiki --version

  4. In response, you should see TiddlyWiki report its current version (eg "5.1.14"; you may also see other debugging information reported)
