**_Note:_** Below installation steps assume user `nobody` for all files manupulated by the cgi scripts (executed by the web server), and user `twiki` for all other files. You need to replace user `nobody` with an other user in case the web server executes the script with a different user ( default for Debian is `www-data` ). Also, you can substitute user `twiki` with your own user name.

-* Make sure Perl 5 and the Perl CGI library is installed on your system. Default location of Perl executable is `/usr/bin/perl` . In case Perl is installed in a different location, the first line of all perl scripts in the <code>**twiki/bin**</code> directory need to be changed (alternatively you can create a symbolic link from <code>**/usr/bin/perl**</code> ).

* **IMPORTANT:** On most ISP virtual domain accounts, Perl CGI scripts require a <code>**.cgi**</code> extension to run. Some systems need <code>**.pl**</code>, the regular Perl extension. Change all <code>**twiki/bin**</code> scripts appropriately if necssary.
* To be able to edit the Perl scripts and <code>**.tmpl**</code> files it is necessary to <code>**chown**</code> and <code>**chgrp -R twiki**</code> so all the files have the owner you want.
* The scripts execute as <code>**nobody**</code>. Set the file permission of all Perl scripts in the <code>**twiki/bin**</code> directory as executable to <code>**-rwxr-xr-x**</code> (755).
