Install Blosxom
Blosxom is designed to run just about anywhere, requiring only a fairly recent
vintage operating system (Mac OS X, Windows 2000/XP, Unix/Linux), a Web Server
(Apache, IIS) to serve up your blog's Web pages, and the Perl programming language (Perl 4 or 5, preferably the latter) to run the Blosxom CGI script.
The installation process is designed to be as easy as possible, requiring very
little from you in terms of knowledge of programming or additional bits and
bobs to install.
Chances are you fall into one of the following four camps:
- Blosxom at your ISP
You've an account at your local
Internet service provider (ISP) which allows you to have my own
Web site and run your own CGI scripts.

- Blosxom on your Mac
You'd like to run Blosxom
right on your Mac OS X laptop or on an old desktop humming away
in your closet, serving up your Web site and much in need of a blog.

- Blosxom on your Windows box
You'd like to run Blosxom
under Windows 2000 or XP Professional using the built-in Internet Information
Server (IIS) to serve up the site.

- Blosxom for Unix/Linux
You'd like to run Blosxom on your
Unix/Linux box. Assuming you--being a Unix/Linux user--are somewhat more
familiar with installing, configuring, and running Perl CGI scripts,
extrapolating from the "Blosxom at my ISP" instructions should serve you well.
