Tiki Manager
Tiki Manager permits you to install and manage one or more instances of Tiki. You can install, upgrade, back up, clone, check file integrity and do various other things on the same server or a remote server. Most actions can be run unattended on a cron job. Tiki Manager can be used via the command line or a web interface. Please visit doc.tiki.org/Manager for more information.
One-Click Script Managers and Remote Installers
Tiki is provided as a one-click installation by most script managers (for example, Softaculous) and remote installers (such as SimpleScripts) at web hosting companies. These auto-installers are offered by nearly all web hosts and control panel (cPanel) applications and make it easy to install and upgrade your Tiki.

InMotion
- As of December 2023, Softaculous 1-click install on mid-level shared InMotion hosting yields an installation that can run Tiki but: (1) Does not have the InnoDB database engine, which is default for Tiki (Tiki can run without InnoDB); and (2) Does not have the Tiki package composer (this will become a problem when you want to install external packages). Citing these two issues, InMotion tech support wrote that, on its shared hosting, "You won't be able to install composer, switch the db engine, etc. This software absolutely could be installed on a VPS but as it stands not on this shared server and most of the shared fleet." So InMotion customers may wish to consider a VPS for Tiki.
- Beyond the fact that VPS is more expensive, folks looking for shared hosting likely do not have skill, time or interest to manage a VPS. If they do get a VPS (from any provider), I would recommend they install WikiSuite on it, as it has a Tiki installer built-in: https://wikisuite.org/Virtualmin-Tiki-Manager
- As for InnoDB vs MyISAM: I just reinforced at MyISAM that it's fine to run without InnoDB
- When we designed Packages, we anticipated that some shared hosting providers would have this limitation so we added a method for a manual install, described here: https://packages.tiki.org/. Because of Tiki's all-in-one model, almost all available features are built-in, and there are only 17 available packages. Most sites will use zero to four packages, so a manual installation is not very time consuming.

Additional methods
Development code daily builds
You can also download a pre-release tarball (ZIP file) that is continually built every six hours. See the .timestamp file to determine the time and date of the tarball. Please visit Daily Builds.
Download with wget
The URLs at SourceForge usually end with /download, which causes wget to use download as filename. For a more convenient download, use syntax wget --trust-server-names to save with the proper filename. More about this topic at sourceforge.net - Downloading files via the command line.
