Hello, motoxeryz125:

You say you've tried a few commands but they failed with errors. It would be helpful to see the commands/code and the errors.

When you say that you're missing libraries, do you mean that the sed executable is missing libraries that it requires to work at all? If so, before the file processing can be done, you need to first install unix tools that work (cygwin perhaps?) or use a windows native alternative. For the latter, you may have Powershell available. If not, it should be a simple download and double-click to install. There's also the command.exe batch language and the windows/dos utilities, but I am not at all familiar with how/if they would work for this case.

Regards and welcome to the forum,
Alister

kwiki::command

Kwiki::Command(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       Kwiki::Command(3pm)

NAME

       Kwiki::Command - Kwiki Command Line Tool Module

SYNOPSIS

	   > kwiki -new mykwiki
	   > cd mykwiki
	   > kwiki -install Kwiki::RecentChanges Kwiki::Archive::Rcs Kwiki::Revisions
	   > vim config.yaml
	   > kwiki -update
	   > kwiki -remove RecentChanges
	   > kwiki -new_view admin

DESCRIPTION

       Kwiki::Command is the module that does all the work of the "kwiki" command line tool. You can use "kwiki" to install a new Kwiki, to update
       a Kwiki configuration, to add and remove Kwiki plugins and to download Kwiki plugins from CPAN. When you download the CPAN modules they can
       either be installed in the system Perl libraries or locally right in your kwiki dist. This is useful if you don't have root permissions for
       your installation.

USAGES

       There are many different commands you can do with the "kwiki" command line tool.

       o   -new

	   Create a new kwiki with the command:

	       kwiki -new

	   You must be inside an empty directory. Alternatively you can say:

	       kwiki -new path/to/kwiki

	   The target directory must be empty or must not exist yet.
