When you install this from git, you will need to first clone the repository::

  git clone git://projects.mako.cc/mediawiki_dump_tools

From within the repository working directory, initiatlize and set up the
submodule like::

  git submodule init
  git submodule update


Wikimedia dumps are usually in a compressed format such as 7z (most common), gz, or bz2. Wikiq uses your computer's compression software to read these files. Therefore wikiq depends on
`7za`, `gzcat`, and `zcat`. 

Dependencies
----------------
These non-Python dependencies must be installed on your system for wikiq and its
associated tests to work.

- 7zip
- ffmpeg

A new diff engine based on `_wikidiff2` can be used for word-persistence. Wikiq can also output the diffs between each page revision. This requires installing Wikidiff 2 on your system. On Debian or Ubuntu Linux this can be done via.

``apt-get install php-wikidiff2``

You may have to also run.
``sudo phpenmod wikidiff2``.

Tests
----
To run tests::

   python -m unittest test.Wikiq_Unit_Test

TODO:
_______________
1. [] Output metadata about the run. What parameters were used? What versions of deltas?
2. [] Url encoding by default
