How do I enable math support in my MediaWiki wiki?

Here is the procedure for enabling math support for a scripts.mit.edu wiki:

1) ssh to scripts.mit.edu

2) cd to your wiki’s math directory and run make

3) Edit the LocalSettings.php file in the base directory of your wiki so that the line

$wgUseTeX = false;

reads

$wgUseTeX = true;

You will then need to re-save any existing pages that contain equations in order to have the equations appear correctly.

If you encounter trouble with this procedure, please contact scripts@mit.edu.
