Dependencies
Depending on what features of MoinMoin you want to use, you might need to install some additional software.
Hard Requirements
The only hard requirement MoinMoin has is that you have Python >= 2.3 installed. MoinMoin 1.9 needs >= 2.4.
Useful Python build options are:
- zlib support
- ucs4 (32bit unicode) - ucs2 also works for most users
- (add more)
Everything else is a soft dependency (you might want it, but for a basic wiki you don't have to install it).
