Technical Requirements

Few Things to consider before Start

Installing Growth Joomla 4 and QuickStart package requires a server (Linux / Apache), but it can be installed also locally on your computer with WAMP/JAMP/XAMPP/MAMP software. Please make sure your system meets the following requirements:

  • PHP 7.3 (minimum), PHP 7.4 (64 bit version) or PHP 8.0.x

  • MySQLi 5.6+ or MariaDB

  • upload_max_filesize = 4M (or more)

  • memory_limit = 128MB, 256MB (or 512MB is recommended)

  • max_execution_time = 180 (but 300 or more is recommended)

  • 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 5.6 ended (!). Change the PHP version from cPanel or change the hosting company.

Notice! Please do not use PHP 8.1 for QuickStart installation, all extensions may not work as they should. PHP 8.0.x is OK.

* 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
