These instructions let you try out the latest code in development with your existing VM. Please note that this is for technically savvy and adventurous souls that want to live on the edge. These instructions set you up with the trunk branch which we try to keep as stable (and buildable) as possible but mistakes happen and the code may not always work.
Download the MindTouch VM
First, download the latest VM release from MindTouch and install it. You will also want to run through the MindTouch installer, as well. You can log-into the VM with the username 'root' and the password 'password'.
Preparation (for Windows + VMPlayer)
If you're using VMPlayer on Windows, you'll want to install putty , a free SSH client, so you can copy/paste commands. To connect to your VM via putty, you'll need to enable SSH login through VMPlayer first.
Switch your bits
Backup your current dekiwiki folder
mv /var/www/dekiwiki /var/www/dekiwiki-sf
Get latest PHP code from SVN from the trunk branch
cd /var/www svn co https://svn.mindtouch.com/source/public/dekiwiki/trunk/web dekiwiki
Copy your LocalSettings.php and attachments from your original installation to the fresh one.
cp /var/www/dekiwiki-sf/LocalSettings.php /var/www/dekiwiki cp -R /var/www/dekiwiki-sf/attachments /var/www/dekiwiki
Change permissions of the MindTouch folder to allow apache access:
chown -R www-data.root /var/www/dekiwiki
Sync your MindTouch C# with what's newest in SVN:
cd /opt mv deki deki-sf svn co https://svn.mindtouch.com/source/public/dekiwiki/trunk deki
Get the Mono C# compiler:
apt-get update apt-get install mono-gmcs
Update C# and PHP code,
build DekiHost and all built in extensions,
perform db updates,
copy binaries to /var/www/dekiwiki/bin, restart dekihost
updateWiki.sh -d
Look for Compilation Succeeded message near the end of the scrolling text. Compilation broken? Stop by irc and let us know! Note: updateWiki.sh -d only works with mono 1.2.2.1. All newer version of mono will cause compilation errors.
You should be all set if everything finished successfully! You should be able to hit your wiki thats running with the latest bits from the trunk branch. Switching to any other branch is the same process just modify the svn path.
Note that you may try changing to a different installation by changing the symlink and restarting dekihost but due to db updates, this may not always work.
If you have problems with this, stop by our irc channel on irc.freenode.net #opengarden or post on the forum.
Optional setup steps for the VM
//TODO:
- Expose the VM file system via Samba so it can be mounted by Windows
- Setup mysql for remote access

Recently I setting-up on the latest VM (8.08 Kilen Woods) accordance with this guide.
As a result, newer version mono-1.9.1 installed as below.
However I could not build DekiHost and all built in extensions with this mono, because "Unhandled Exception" happend durling compilation. :(
Please update this guide for Deki 8.08. :)

WOW! My question of previous post are solved.
I had delete pre-installed Mono-1.9.1, then re-install Mono and C# compiler.
I here by get mono-1.2.2.1 at Deki's request to build Deki binaries.
As you are aware this make a diffrence on Mono version between MindTouch shipped version and yours.
Please try this at your own risk. ;)
Here are command line to do it.
apt-get update
apt-get remove mono-common
apt-get install mono
apt-get install mono-gmcs
dekiwiki:/opt# /usr/bin/mono -V

The procedure that I described in above (#5) has already gone out of use.
So, Anyone should NOT do this on latest Deki Lyons (9.02) VM. Sorry... :(
