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

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

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

DokuWiki will run on any web server that supports [[http://www.php.net|PHP]]. Most users use [[http://www.apache.org/httpd|Apache]] but many others including IIS, lighttpd, Nginx, and Abyss are known to work. When using as a desktop wiki you can also use [[http://www.zachsaw.com/?pg=quickphp_php_tester_debugger | QuickPHP]] (webserver and PHP in one file).

==== 2. PHP version 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 modern browser should work, but check our [[browser|browser recommendations]].
