[[!meta title="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](http://scripts.mit.edu/faq/41/)

\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.
