Installing Joomla 4 / Joomla 5 and the QuickStart package requires a server (Linux / Apache), but it can also be installed locally on your computer with WAMP/JAMP/XAMPP/MAMP software. Please make sure your system meets the following requirements:
- PHP 8.0 (legacy), PHP 8.1, PHP 8.2 or PHP 8.3
- PHP: memory_limit: 256 MB or 512M or higher
- PHP: post_max_size: 128M or higher
- PHP: upload_max_filesize: 30M or higher (but do not set unlimited value "-1")
- PHP: max_execution_time = 300 (or more is suggested)
- MySQL 8+ or MariaDB 10+
- cURL library - your server must work with curl or url_fopen.
- OpenSSL Libraries - must be enabled.
- PHP file_get_contents() function - must be available/unlocked.
Note: Support for PHP 7 ended (!). Change the PHP version from cPanel or change the hosting company.
* Those values can be changed in php.ini or .htaccess file. Please contact your web hosting service provider to ask them where/how to change PHP settings.
In addition, some features of the modules and components** used in a template may require:
- GD library support
- cURL library support
- Support for mb_* functions in PHP to use multibyte strings
**More information can be found inside SP Page Builder documentation.
Remember to restart Apache (localhost only) after configuration changes.
In most cases those values can be changed in php.ini or .htaccess file. Please contact your web hosting service provider to be sure that your server complies with the requirements or to ask them where/how to change those settings.
We suggest using the latest version of Firefox, Safari, Chrome or Edge. Please remember that Microsoft does NOT support Internet Explorer anymore.
