1. The following line is coming from an earlier bookmarked tutorial (not sure if it is needed anymore)
apt-get install mediawiki-math
2. Download Math extension from this link
3. Then you should extract the archive in the "extensions" folder within your MediaWiki installation directory.
4. Next, you need to add the following line to your LocalSettings.php file:
require_once("$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php");
sudo apt-get install ocaml cd extensions/Math/math make
6. The next step is to execute the "maintenance/update.php" script via shell:
php maintenance/update.php
Done. Go to test it. [Tested on mediawiki 1.22 on Ubuntu 12.04]. Navigate to "Special:Version" on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

favicon
Move favicon.ico to the mediawiki folder and include the following line in the <LocalSettings.php>
$wgFavicon = "$wgScriptPath/favicon.ico";
Note that the attribute of the ico file has to be at least 644. If not, just do
chmod 644 favicon.ico
.
To download a favicon, use the approach here. The approach works is based on the assumption that the favicon.ico file name is not changed and usually located under the website root directory.
