Before we get started you need to have a few things...

1. Server or Developer environment
2. Database

The first thing we need is a computer setup to run the Joomla. This requires either a hosting account with a web server company or having a development environment on your computer.

Server Requirements:

• Linux hosting
• mySQL - Database
• FTP program

Development Environment

MAMP (Mac) or XAMP (Windows)

These packages install the same software that is used to run a web server except they are on your computer. These install the Apache web server and mysql.
