<p class="MsoNormal">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 class="MsoNormal">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.
