Well, I managed to install XWiki using the Debian package installation, but the installation varied a bit. Here is what worked for me: Installed Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 wget -q "http://maven.xwiki.org/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add - sudo wget "http://maven.xwiki.org/lts/xwiki-lts.list" -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install default-jdk sudo apt-get install tomcat8 sudo service tomcat8 restart sudo apt install xwiki-enterprise-tomcat8-mysql sudo reboot Only then was I able to initialize XWiki. I am so happy to finally get it installed! Still trying to learn the layout and get a navbar set up, like you have on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationViaAPT (Home, About, Projects, etc). -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Need-Help-Installing-XWiki-on-Ubuntu-Serve...
