Install the Math extension

If you want to install the Math extension on MediaWiki, please follow these steps.

Download the latest Math extension from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math.
Uncompress the downloaded file in the Mediawiki extensions directory. The command below should create the Math directory in the Mediawiki extensions directory:
```
  $ tar -xzf Math-*.tar.gz -C /opt/bitnami/mediawiki/extensions
```

Edit the permissions:

  $ sudo chmod 775 Math/
  $ sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon Math/

Edit the /opt/bitnami/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php file and add this code at the end of the file
```
  require_once ( "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php" );
```
Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
```
  $ cd /opt/bitnami/mediawiki
  $ php maintenance/update.php
```
