  12. REQUIREMENTS
  13. ------------
  14.  
  15. First you must have the base environment for Joomla.
  16. We have thoroughly tested Joomla! on: Linux, Free BSD, Mac OS X and Windows NT/2000/XP/7/8.
  17. Linux or one of the BSD's are recommended, but anything else that can run the
  18. 3 pieces of software listed below should do it.
  19.  
  20. Apache  -> http://www.apache.org
  21. MySQL   -> http://www.mysql.com
  22. PHP     -> http://www.php.net
  23.  
  24.  
  25. SERVER CONFIGURATION
  26. --------------------
  27.  
  28. You MUST ensure that PHP has been compiled with support for MySQL and Zlib
  29. in order to successfully run Joomla.
  30.  
  31. While we have reports that Joomla! works on IIS server we recommend Apache
  32. for running Joomla! on Windows.
  33.  
  34.  
  35. OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
  36. -------------------
  37.  
  38. If you want support for SEF (Search Engine Friendly) URLs, you'll need mod_rewrite and the ability to
  39. use local .htaccess files.
  40.  
  41.  
  42. INSTALLATION
  43. ------------
  44.  
  45. 1. DOWNLOAD Joomla
  46.  
  47.         You can obtain the latest Joomla! release from:
  48.                 http://www.joomla.org
  49.  
  50.         Copy the tar.gz file into a working directory e.g.
  51.  
  52.         $ cp JoomlaVx.x.x-Stable.tar.gz /tmp/Joomla
  53.  
  54.         Change to the working directory e.g.
  55.  
  56.         $ cd /tmp/Joomla
  57.  
  58.         Extract the files e.g.
  59.  
  60.         $ tar -zxvf JoomlaVx.x.x-Stable.tar.gz
  61.  
  62.         This will extract all Joomla! files and directories.  Move the contents
  63.         of that directory into a directory within your web server's document
  64.         root or your public HTML directory e.g.
  65.  
  66.         $ mv /tmp/Joomla/* /var/www/html
  67.  
  68.         Alternatively if you downloaded the file to your computer and unpacked
  69.         it locally use a FTP program to upload all files to your server.
  70.         Make sure all PHP, HTML, CSS and JS files are sent in ASCII mode and
  71.         image files (GIF, JPG, PNG) in BINARY mode.
  72.  
  73.  
  74. 2. CREATE THE Joomla! DATABASE
  75.  
  76.         Joomla! will currently only work with MySQL.  In the following examples,
  77.         "db_user" is an example MySQL user which has the CREATE and GRANT
  78.         privileges.  You will need to use the appropriate user name for your
  79.         system.
  80.  
  81.         First, you must create a new database for your Joomla! site e.g.
  82.  
  83.         $ mysqladmin -u db_user -p create Joomla
  84.  
  85.         MySQL will prompt for the 'db_user' database password and then create
  86.         the initial database files.  Next you must login and set the access
  87.         database rights e.g.
  88.  
  89.         $ mysql -u db_user -p
  90.  
  91.         Again, you will be asked for the 'db_user' database password.  At the
  92.         MySQL prompt, enter following command:
  93.  
  94.         GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON Joomla.*
  95.                 TO nobody@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
  96.  
  97.         where:
  98.  
  99.         'Joomla' is the name of your database
  100.         'nobody@localhost' is the userid of your webserver MySQL account
  101.         'password' is the password required to log in as the MySQL user
  102.  
  103.         If successful, MySQL will reply with
  104.  
  105.         Query OK, 0 rows affected
  106.  
  107.         to activate the new permissions you must enter the command
  108.  
  109.         flush privileges;
  110.  
  111.         and then enter '\q' to exit MySQL.
  112.  
  113.         Alternatively you can use your web control panel or phpMyAdmin to
  114.         create a database for Joomla.
  115.  
  116.  
  117. 3. WEB INSTALLER
  118.  
  119. Finally point your web browser to http://www.mysite.com where the Joomla! web
  120. based installer will guide you through the rest of the installation.
  121.  
  122.  
  123. 4. CONFIGURE Joomla
  124.  
  125. You can now launch your browser and point it to your Joomla! site e.g.
  126.  
  127.         http://www.mysite.com -> Main Site
  128.         http://www.mysite.com/administrator -> Admin
  129.  
  130. You can log into Admin using the username 'admin' along with the
  131. password that was generated or you chose during the web based install.
  132.  
  133.  
  134. Joomla! ADMINISTRATION
  135. ----------------------
  136.  
  137. Upon a new installation, your JoomlaS website defaults to a very basic
  138. configuration with only a few active components, modules and templates
  139. (CMTs).
  140.  
  141. Use Admin to install and configure additional CMTs, add users, select
  142. default language and much more.
  143.  
  144. Note that additional community-contributed CMTs and languages are
  145. available via http://www.joomla.org
