If you're not sure whether your server meets the minimum requirements, the server wizard will run some tests and give you an answer.

- [Download](https://expressionengine.com/asset/file/ee_server_wizard.zip) and unzip the archive.
- [Download](https://github.com/ExpressionEngine/ExpressionEngine-Server-Wizard/archive/refs/heads/master.zip) and unzip the archive.
- Upload the folder to your server.
- Point your web browser to the folder. For example: `https://example.com/ee_wizard`

## The Bare Minimums

If you are stuck in an older environment, ExpressionEngine _can_ run on PHP 7.2.5+ with 32M of memory, and MySQL 5.5.3+. PHP-FPM is also optional, but [tends to handily outperform mod_php](https://www.cloudways.com/blog/php-fpm-on-cloud/). That said,running older versions not only hurts performance—increasing the cost of your website—but also puts your site **at risk of security vulnerabilities**. The PHP Group stopped providing support for PHP 5.6 [on December 31, 2018](https://php.net/supported-versions.php). Oracle also ceased providing support for MySQL 5.5 at the same time.
