## <a name="Overview"></a> Overview
These installation steps are based on the Apache Web server on Linux. TWiki runs on other Web servers and Unix systems, and should be fine with any OS and server that meet the [[system requirements|Main/TWikiImplementationNotes]]. Documentation for other platforms is currently limited. For Windows, check TWiki:Codev/TWikiOnWindows. Search the TWiki:Codev web for other intallation notes.
-- **_NOTE:_** This Guide assumes user `nobody` ownership for all files manipulated by the CGI scripts (executed by the Web server), and user `twiki` for all other files. You can:
- - replace `nobody` with another user if your server executes scripts under a different name (ex: default for Debian is `www-data`).
- - replace user `twiki` with your own username

- Create directory `/home/httpd/twiki` and unzip the TWiki distribution into this directory.
- The `twiki/bin` directory of TWiki must be set as a cgi-bin directory. Add `/home/httpd/twiki/bin` to file `/etc/httpd/httpd.conf` with only `ExecCGI` option.
