Before installing, please check that your server meets the minimum system requirements:
- Apache Server with mod_rewrite module enabled

Apache, MySQL and PHP are all Open Source applications and freely available. They come preinstalled on Mac OS X 10.2.8 and later; they can be installed both on Windows and Linux OS (detailed info can be found on their respective websites) and they form the most widely used database server setup on the Internet today. For best result in a local server environment though, we suggest that you use a dedicated server stack (applications bundle): LAMP (Linux), MAMP (Mac) and XAMPP (Windows) are the recommended stacks at this time.
