Hi Raza,

Yes, You can do the offline installation.

1) Download mediawiki tar file and transfer it to target system
2) Use ‘yum downloader’ to download all dependencies and make a tar file and transfer it to target system

If we want to do offline installation, then can we download the .tar file of mediawiki on some other system and then transfer to the CentOS using USB?

Is the process of installing mediawiki the same for shared hosting and cloud hosting platforms? I followed your tutorial and another tutorial (‘https://www.cloudways.com/blog/install-mediawiki/’ ) to install it. However, when i try to access the domain i am getting 500 internal server error.

On my CentOS 7 system, I had to substitute mysqld with mariadb when I got “Nothing to do” (not found) : ie. yum install mariadb-server – hope this helps somebody. Thanks for this helpful reference
