Hi Mark “Installing” in the context of a Node.js app like TiddlyWiki 5 really just means unpacking the ZIP of files and folders in a particular location. One then tells node which version to run by referencing the tiddlywiki.js file in the root of the repo:
node ./tiddlywiki.js --version The code in tiddlywiki.js then reaches into the other files and folders as it loads TiddlyWiki. The wrinkle in all this is the ability to install an application globally. That just means that the app is copied to a location managed by the system, and then a shortcut is created so that running “tiddlywiki” is the same as if one ran “node <path-to-tw>/tiddlywiki.js”. (It’s also possible to use the “npm link” command to specify a custom installation of TiddlyWiki as the global one; this is documented on tiddlywiki.com). So, if you want to work with multiple versions of TW5 at the same time, just install them in different folders and reference them via the node command as above.
