:.butler @@color:navy;"You can use TW5.html or TW Node.js for your personal 
wiki, but if you want to use TW as a static website generator you need to 
use the Node.js version."@@

After my prior post, I messed up the link to my personal blog hosted on 
GitHub (this wiki).

I found [[Eric Shulman's|EShulman]] comment elsewhere:

If all you want to do is "serve tiddlywiki files"... then it is really no 
different than hosting any other regular HTML file on the server.  Without 
adding any additional server-side scripts (which could impact on existing 
security protocols), you would simply upload an HTML file to the server 
using whatever method is currently in place and approved by the University.

The entire uploaded TW is then simply delivered to the brower just like any 
other HTML file, and the javascript executes completely within the 
client-side browser, which runs in a locked-down sandbox environment that 
is not permitted to peform local file I/O.

The user CAN make changes in the TW and save them to a **local file** by 
using the default "download saver".  However, this does NOT create anything 
new *on the server* and opening the locally-saved TW file will still be 
secure since it is locked-down in the browser's sandbox environment."""

;So I 

*Created an empty.html and added the tiddlers from my master wiki using the 
advanced search filter `[tag[Public]]` and selected the JSON file option 
from the dropdown list 

*Saved "empty.html" using TiddlyDesktop (only save mechanism I am really 
comfortable with), and renamed the file "index.html"

*Uploaded it to my personal GitHub repository (that auto-publishes)

And it worked.

This is all done without Node.js, which I take to mean it is "Client side" 
only. 

So I remain confused why I need Node.js, and the Terminal commands at all.

Maybe this will matter when I inevitably want to add a guest registration, 
commenting system, etc...

ps. updated my site: https://jwhoneycutt.github.io - to see if I can make 
the wiki track the updates
