Prerequisites
MediaWiki requires the following PHP version (see compatibility list):
- PHP 5.3: MediaWiki 1.13 - 1.26
- PHP 5.4: MediaWiki 1.17 - 1.26
- PHP 5.5: MediaWiki 1.18 -
- PHP 5.6: MediaWiki 1.23 -

Installation
MediaWiki can be downloaded as follows:
$ git clone https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki.git $ cd mediawiki $ git checkout -b REL1_25 origin/REL1_25
Since version 1.24 the skin has to be cloned separately:
$ cd skins $ rm .gitignore $ git clone https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-skins-MonoBook --branch REL1_25 --single-branch MonoBook $ cd MonoBook $ rm -rf .git
Since version 1.27 the skin has to be updated from submodule:
$ git submodule update --init -- skins/MonoBook
To merge the submodule:
$ mv skins/MonoBook skins/MonoBook.tmp $ git submodule deinit -f -- skins/MonoBook $ rm -rf .git/modules/skins/MonoBook $ rm -rf skins/MonoBook $ rm -rf skins/.gitignore $ mv skins/MonoBook.tmp skins/MonoBook
Then modify LocalSettings.php to load the skin:
wfLoadSkin( 'MonoBook' );
