# Tools You Can Use

Make sure that you have the following applications handy. You will need them to facilitate your installation. If you need to download any of these programs, check http://www.download.com or http://www.tucows.com.

- An FTP program

- A Telnet program that also supports SSH

- An ASCII text editor

- A compression tool (TAR, ZIP, etc.)

* FoxServ (http://www.foxserv.net) -- FoxServ is an extremely handy tool for first-time PostNuke users to get Apache / MySQL / PHP / Perl up and running quickly, particularly for Windows servers.

* Apache Toolbox (http://www.apachetoolbox.com) -- Apache Toolbox is a fully customizable and menu driven script for Linux that will install Apache / MySQL / PHP / PERL, and much more. Everything is compiled from source. It checks for RPMs that might cause problems and uses wget to automatically download the source if it's missing. This is an advanced tool for Linux.

* PHPTriad (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phptriad) -- PHPTriad installs a complete working PHP/MySQL server environment on Windows platforms (9x/NT). Installs PHP, Perl, MySQL, Apache, and PHPMyAdmin.
