System Requirements

To run CubeCart, you will need several components: a Web server, a MySQL database, the PHP scripting language, and either Zend Optimizer or ionCube PHP Encoder, for decoding protected files. All of these components should be installed and verified to work, before installing CubeCart itself. Most competent Web hosting services provide all of these needed components.

For this tutorial, we will be utilizing Apache version 2.2.8, MySQL 5.0, and PHP 5.2.5. But CubeCart will work fine with many of the earlier versions of these components. If you are setting up a development environment on a Windows server, then detailed information can be found at DeveloperTutorials.com, with instructions on how to install and configure Apache, MySQL, and PHP.

cURL with SSL support is required for some shipping and payment modules. The GD image library is recommended, for product image manipulation.
