System Requirements

Here you will find the list of system requirements that have to be adhered to be able to use Openjet. First of all have a look at the requirements for running Symfony.

Read about the LAMP stack and the MAMP stack.

Note

If you want to install Openjet in MacOs system, prefer homebrew instead of MAMP. With homebrew you can have a more configurable and flexible installation.

Operating Systems

The recommended operating systems for running Openjet are the Unix systems - Linux, MacOS.

Web server and configuration

In the production environment we do recommend using Apache web server ≥ 2.2.

While developing the recommended way to work with your Symfony application is to use PHP’s built-in web server.

Go there to see the full reference to the web server configuration.
