# 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 maintainance.

## 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.
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.

# Installing SilverStripe

## Getting the code
## Installing SilverStripe
The best way to get SilverStripe is to [install with Composer](composer). Composer is a package management tool for PHP that
lets you install and upgrade SilverStripe and its modules. Although installing Composer is one extra step, it will give you much more flexibility than just downloading the file from silverstripe.org.

A collection of more advanced functionality and features contained within the SilverStripe Framework. This covers common use cases, provides code examples and explanations of how you might use parts of the Framework and CMS to suit your projects.
title: Developer Guides
introduction: The following guides take a more detailed look into the core concepts and code examples for building SilverStripe applications.
This is by no means a completely exhaustive list of Classes and Methods but rather more of a descriptive book style format with examples.
In each guide you'll find reference documentation followed by a collection of short and informal How-to's which contain
snippets of code to use in your own projects.
Each key section will also contain a "How To" section into which we accept community contributed code examples and more specific use cases.
