+ As a wiki compiler, ikiwiki builds a wiki from files in a source directory,
+ and outputs the files to a destination directory. If you keep your wiki in
+ a version control system, the source directory will contain a working copy

4. Build your wiki for the first time.
- ikiwiki --verbose $SRCDIR $DESTDIR --url=http://host/~you/wiki/
