<p>Joomla! runs on any platform including Windows, most flavours of Linux, several Unix versions, and the Apple OS/X platform.  Joomla! depends on PHP and the MySQL database to deliver dynamic content. </p>
<p>The minimum requirements are:</p>
<ul>
	<li>Apache 1.x, 2.x and higher</li>
	<li>PHP 4.3 and higher</li>
	<li>MySQL 3.23 and higher</li>
</ul>
It will also run on alternative server platforms such as Windows IIS - provided they support PHP and MySQL - but these require additional configuration in order for the Joomla! core package to be successful installed and operated.
