"in-place", as long as you have the necessary prerequisites available.

MediaWiki is developed and tested mainly on Unix/Linux platforms, but should
work on Windows as well.

-To run the install script, you'll need to temporarily make the 'config'
-subdirectory writable by the web server. The simplest way to do this on a
-Unix/Linux system is to make it world-writable:
-
- chmod a+w config
-
Hop into your browser and surf into the wiki directory. It'll direct you into
the config script. Fill out the form... remember you're probably not on an
encrypted connection.
Gaaah! :)
If all goes well, you should soon be told that it's set up your wiki database
-and written a configuration file. There should now be a 'LocalSettings.php' in
-the config directory; move it back up to the main wiki directory, and the wiki
-should now be working.

- | Security hint: if you have limited access on your server and cannot |
- | change ownership of files, you might want to *copy* instead of *move* |
- | LocalSettings.php. |
- | |
- | This will make the file owned by your user account instead of by |
- | the web server, which is safer in case another user's account is |
- | compromised. |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-Once the wiki is set up, you should remove the config directory, or at least
-make it not world-writable (though it will refuse to config again if the wiki
-is set up).
+and generated a configuration file. There is now a copy of "LocalSettings.php"
+available to download from the installer. Download this now, there is not a
+way (yet) to get it after you exit the installer. Place it in the main wiki
+directory, and the wiki should now be working.
+Once the wiki is set up, you should remove the mw-config directory (though it will
+refuse to config again if the wiki is set up).
