# Software Requirements

Before you can run PostNuke, it first needs to be installed or upgraded from a previous version. Before PostNuke can be installed, there are other pieces of software that must be installed and functioning on your system, and additional pieces of software that you may wish to install. In this section, we discuss the different pieces of software that are the minimum requirements for running PostNuke.

* Supported operating systems include: Unix, Linux, FreeBSD, MacOSX, Solaris, AIX, Win98/NT/2000/XP, Sun Cobalt OS (RAQ4)

* A functioning webserver (Apache or IIS, among others). See Appendix A for information about configuring the webserver.

* A working installation of PHP (version 4.0.1pl2 or higher) compiled with MySQL support. PHP is the language in which PostNuke is written. Without PHP support, the web server would not be able to parse the PHP files and your site would not work. See Appendix B for information about configuring PHP.

* A working database management system (MySQL 3.23 or higher, SQL, or PostGRESQL, among others).
