# Requirements
SilverStripe CMS needs to be installed on a web server. Content authors and website administrators use their web browser
to access a web-based GUI to do their day-to-day work. Website designers and developers require access to the files on
the server to update templates, website logic, and perform upgrades or maintenance.
Our web-based [PHP installer](installation/) can check if you meet the requirements listed below.
## Web server software requirements
2018-12-03 22:23:31 +01:00
* PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1 or 7.2
* Note: Although we do our best to support 5.6 and 7.0, they are deprecated and [unsupported by the PHP Project](http://php.net/supported-versions.php).
If you are using these, we strongly recommend you to upgrade.
* Allocate at least 48MB of memory to each PHP process. (SilverStripe can be resource hungry for some intensive operations.)
* PHP requires a suitable CSPRNG (random number generator) source for generating random tokens, password salts etc. This can be any of the following, and most operating systems will have at least one source available:
* PHP 7 `random_bytes()`:
* `CryptGenRandom` (Windows only)
* `arc4random_buf` (OpenBSD & NetBSD only)
* `getrandom(2)` (Linux only)
* `/dev/urandom`
* PHP 5 [`random_compat`](https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat) polyfill:
* libsodium
* `/dev/urandom`
* [`mcrypt_create_iv()`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt-create-iv.php)
* CAPICOM Utilities (`CAPICOM.Utilities.1`, Windows only)

## Web server hardware requirements
Hardware requirements vary widely depending on the traffic to your website, the complexity of its logic (i.e., PHP), and
its size (i.e., database.) By default, all pages are dynamic, and thus access both the database and execute PHP code to
generate. SilverStripe can cache full pages and segments of templates to dramatically increase performance.
A typical website page on a conservative single CPU machine (e.g., Intel 2Ghz) takes roughly 300ms to generate. This
comfortably allows over a million page views per month. Caching and other optimisations can improve this by a factor of
ten or even one hundred times. SilverStripe CMS can be used in multiple-server architectures to improve scalability and
redundancy.
For more information on how to scale SilverStripe see the [Performance](/developer_guides/performance/) Guide.
## Client side (CMS) browser requirements
SilverStripe CMS supports the following web browsers:
* Google Chrome
* Internet Explorer 11
* Microsoft Edge
* Mozilla Firefox.
We aim to provide satisfactory experiences in Apple Safari. SilverStripe CMS works well across Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems.
## End user requirements
SilverStripe CMS is designed to make excellent, standards-compliant websites that are compatible with a wide range of
industry standard browsers and operating systems. A competent developer is able to produce websites that meet W3C
guidelines for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and accessibility, in addition to meeting specific guide lines, such as
e-government requirements.
