Unzip into a folder and run TiddlyWiki.app or nw.exe and for linux nw

Note that TiddlyDesktop will not work correctly from a Windows UNC network share (eg \\MY-SERVER\SHARE\MyFolder). You should map the network share to a local drive, and run it from there.

Usage

The property should be a directory to use for holding configuration data.

Developer Tools

The F12 key opens the Chromium developer tools for the current window.

  4. Execute output/mac/TiddlyWiki.app or output/win/nw.exe or output/linux32/nw or output/linux64/nw
