Install the ParserFunctions extension

If you want to install the ParserFunctions extension on MediaWiki, please follow these steps:

• Go to the MediaWiki extensions directory:

  $ cd /opt/bitnami/apps/mediawiki/htdocs/extensions
  

• Create the ParserFunctions directory:

  $ mkdir ParserFunctions
  

• Change to the new directory:

  $ cd ParserFunctions
  

• Download the extension from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor.

  $ wget -O parserfunctions.zip https://git.wikimedia.org/zip/?r=mediawiki/extensions/ParserFunctions&h=refs/heads/master&format=gz && unzip parserfunctions.zip
  

• Edit the /opt/bitnami/apps/mediawiki/htdocs/LocalSettings.php file and add this code at the end of the file:

  require_once( "$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php" );
  

• If you want to use the integrated string functionality, add just after that line:

  $wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true;
  

• Restart the Apache server

  $ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
