====== DokuWiki System Requirements ======

To run your own copy of [[DokuWiki]] you will need the following:

==== 1. Webserver supporting PHP ====

DokuWiki will run on any Webserver supporting [[http://www.php.net|PHP]]. Most users use [[http://www.apache.org/httpd|Apache]] but many others including IIS, lighttpd and Nginx are known to work.

==== 2. PHP 5.1.2 or later ====

PHP needs to be at least Version 5.1.2.

For resizing [[:images]] either the [[phpfn>ref.image|PHP GD extension]] or [[http://www.imagemagick.org|Image Magick]] should be installed.

DokuWiki should work in PHP's [[phpfn>features.safe-mode|Safe Mode]], but depending on your hosting configuration you may need to use the [[:config:safemodehack]] option.

==== 3. A recent browser ====

Any browser of the last few years should work. [[http://www.getfirefox.com|Firefox]] should be used for best experience...
