%TOC% %STARTINCLUDE% ---# TWiki System Requirements _Server and client requirements for TWiki 01-Feb-2003_ Low client and server requirements are core features that keep TWiki widely deployable, particularly across a range of browser platforms and versions. ---++ Server Requirements TWiki is written in Perl 5, uses a number of shell commands, and requires [[http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/rcs.html][RCS (Revision Control System)]], a GNU Free Software package. TWiki is developed in a basic Linux/Apache environment. It also works with Microsoft Windows, and should have no problem on any other platform that meets the requirements. | *Required Server Environment* ||| | *Resource* | *Unix* | *Windows** | | Perl | 5.005_03 or higher (5.6.1 recommended, <br /> 5.8.0 *not* recommended yet, see TWiki:Codev.UsingPerl58OnRedHat8) || | Non-standard Perl modules | =Net::SMTP= (or =sendmail=) | =Net::SMTP=, =MIME::Base64=, =Digest::SHA1= | | RCS | 5.7 or higher (including GNU =diff=) %BR% Optional, but the all-Perl RCS replacement is not currently recommended for live sites - see TWiki:Codev.RcsLite. || | GNU =diff= | GNU =diff= 2.7 or higher is required when not using the all-Perl <nop>RcsLite. %BR% Install on PATH if not included with RCS (check version with =diff -v=) || | Other external programs | =ls, fgrep, egrep= || | Cron/scheduler | =cron= | =cron= equivalents | | Web server | Apache 1.3 is well supported; Apache 2.0 is *not* recommended yet (see TWiki:Support.FailedAuthenticationWithApache2OnWinNT). %BR% For other servers, CGI support, authentication, extended path required || %X% *** _Current documentation mainly covers Linux and Apache installations. See WindowsInstallCookbook for a Windows installation guide. See TWiki:Codev.TWikiOn for help with installation on various platforms including Unix, <nop>MacOS X, Apache =mod_perl=, web hosts, etc._ #ClientRequirements ---++ Client Requirements The TWiki [[TWikiInstallationGuide][standard installation]] has extremely low browser requirements: * HTML 3.2 compliant * generates XHTML 1.0 pages that are compatible with HTML 3.2 * minimal use of <nop>JavaScript in the user interface (degrades gracefully) * no cookies * no CSS You can easily add functionality, by customizing TWikiTemplates, for one, while tailoring the browser requirements to your situation. ---++ Known Issues * The TWikiPlugins feature currently does not have compatibility guidelines for developers. Plugins can require just about anything - browser-specific functions, stylesheets (CSS), Java applets, cookies, specific Perl modules,... - check the individual Plugin specs. * %H% Plugins included in the TWiki distribution do not add requirements. -- MikeMannix - 12 Jan 2002
