To install PrestaShop 1.7, you need a web server running PHP 5.4+ and any flavor of MySQL 5.0+ (MySQL, MariaDB, Percona Server, etc.).

You will also need a database administration tool, such as phpMyAdmin, in order to create a database for PrestaShop.
We recommend the Apache or Nginx web servers (check out our [example Nginx configuration file][23]).

If your host does not offer PHP 5 by default, you will find a few explanations about PHP 5 or the `.htaccess` file in [our documentation][3], with details for certain hosting services.

If you want your own store with nothing to download and install, you should use [PrestaShop Cloud][4], our 100% free and fully-hosted PrestaShop service: it lets you create your online store in less than 10 minutes without any technical knowledge. Learn more about the [difference between PrestaShop Cloud and PrestaShop Download][10].


Installation
--------

Once the files in the PrestaShop archive have been decompressed and uploaded on your hosting space, go to the root of your PrestaShop directory with your web browser, and the PrestaShop unzipper/installer will start automatically. Follow the instructions until PrestaShop is installed.

If you get any PHP error, it might be that you do not have PHP 5 on your web server, or that you need to activate it. See [this page for explanations about PHP 5][3], or contact your web host directly.
If you do not find any solution to start the installer, please post about your issue on [the PrestaShop forums][5].
