Hardware Requirements

Although CARMA won't increase the load on your web server by much, we suggest you get good hardware so your members' area loads quickly every time.

Software Requirements

CARMA Requires the following software:

• Linux, Unix, BSD, OS X, or Darwin
• PHP (version 4.4 or greater)
  • MySQL support
  • GD support (version 1.8 or higher)
  • freetype support
  • Enable short_open_tag in your server's php.ini
  • Disable php register_globals
  • set the php max_execution_time to 300 or disable it
  • set the php memory_limit to at least 64M
• MySQL
• CVS
• Image Magick
• FFMPEG-PHP
• MPlayer with all codecs
• zip (optional)
• mencoder (optional)
• flvtool2 (optional)

You don't need the optional requirements, but if you don't install them, you can't use the features that depend on them. You only need flvtool2 and mencoder if you want CARMA to convert videos to Flash.
