TW Bookcase

TW Bookcase is a TiddlyWiki management application. It consolidates disparate TiddlyWiki folders on your computer into one management application.

TW Bookcase serves TiddlyWiki instances by proxying them so you can have many instances with only one web sever running.

How to Install

1. Install Node.js
   • either from your favourite package manager: typically apt-get install nodejs on Debian/Ubuntu Linux or Termux for Android, or brew install node on a Mac
   • or directly from http://nodejs.org
2. Open a command line terminal and type:

   npm install -g tw-bookcase

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

   sudo npm install -g tw-bookcase (Mac/Linux)

3. Check TW Bookcase is installed by typing:

   tw-bookcase --version

4. In response, you should see TW Bookcase report its current version (eg ""; you may also see other debugging information reported)
5. Try it out:
   1. tw-bookcase mynewwiki --init to create a folder for a new wiki that includes server-related components
   2. tw-bookcase mynewwiki --listen to start TW Bookcase
   3. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8088/ in your browser (Note the default port number is 8088)

The -g flag causes TW Bookcase to be installed globally. Without it, TW Bookcase will only be available in the directory where you installed it.

If you are using Debian or Debian-based Linux and you are receiving a node: command not found error though node.js package is installed, you may need to create a symbolic link between nodejs and node. Consult your distro's manual and whereis to correctly create a link. See github issue 1434

Example Debian v8.0: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
