The Browser CRM Server software can be installed on your own server or hosted and managed by us.

• PHP
• MySQL
• Apache or other web server

This means BrowserCRM can run on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac and Windows (a Server or typical Desktop). If you do not yet have a PHP/MySQL environment, there are many options:

• get an account with one of the Recommended Hosting Companies
• download and install the free WAMP for Windows
• download and install the free MAMP for Mac
• download and install the free VMWare Player and get our VMWare Debian image with BrowserCRM ready to go

• PHP 5.2 or later in accordance with the GoPHP5 initiative
• MySQL 5.x or later.

See Recommended Hosting Companies for hosting companies that meet these requirements and are also recommended for their general service.

However the current absolute requirement is for

• PHP 4.3.x or 5.x or later.
• MySQL 3.53.x or 4.1.x or later.

PHP can be installed with many optional modules. BrowserCRM only requires the PHP module php-mysql. BrowserCRM may use the module php-curl if it is installed. These modules are in almost any PHP default configuration.

See Configure PHP for the required PHP configuration parameters.

For a hosted server, see Recommended Hosting Companies

Users can access BrowserCRM using a modern web browser. See Supported browsers
