  1. Make sure you have a web server where the ViArt product can be deployed.

    2. Either Microsoft IIS or Apache Web Server will be perfect for running ViArt products. We recommend using Apache Web Server as this has proved most reliable for us (http://www.apache.org/)

  2. Ensure that your web server is capable of serving web pages written in PHP (http://www.php.net/)

  3. Make sure that Zend Optimizer 2.5.7 or higher is installed (http://www.zend.com/)

    For more information see section 2.1.2

  4. Make sure you have one of the supported databases installed.

    5. Currently all ViArt versions support the following database types:
