Follow these easy steps to get started! Note that these guidelines are for Safari 3.1.2 running on Mac OS X 10.5.4, but will apply to several other configurations (other versions of Safari and Opera too)

If these guidelines aren't appropriate, check the other browser-specific guidelines to find some that are right for you.

Step 1 - Check downloaded files

After Download, check first that you have automatically received a zip file containing two files (the contents of the zip file may have been extracted automatically - if not, open the zip file):

• empty.html (this is your TiddlyWiki file)
• TiddlySaver.jar (this is a java applet, which will make sure everything works in your chosen browser. Note a copy of this file must be kept in the same folder as any TiddlyWiki file you are using)

You can download the TiddlySaver.jar file on it's own from here if you need it.

Double click the empty.html file to get started.

Step 2 - Open file

The system will check you're happy to open the TiddlyWiki file. Click on 'Open'.

Step 3 - Trust applet

The TiddlySaver.jar applet has been signed by UnaMesa, who hold the rights to TiddlyWiki on behalf of the community. You can find out more about the applet itself here, and you'll need to click on 'Trust' in order for the TiddlyWiki to work. If you've accidentally clicked on 'Don't Trust' previously, don't worry - just restart the browser and you should get asked again.

Step 4 - You're done!

Thanks to the applet, you now have the full functionality of TiddlyWiki at your disposal. Be sure to check out the guidelines in Getting Started!
