Friendica Installation
+===============
We've tried very hard to ensure that Friendica will run on commodity hosting platforms - such as those used to host Wordpress blogs and Drupal websites. But be aware that Friendica is more than a simple web application. It is a complex communications system which more closely resembles an email server than a web server. For reliability and performance, messages are delivered in the background and are queued for later delivery when sites are down. This kind of functionality requires a bit more of the host system than the typical blog. Not every PHP/MySQL hosting provider will be able to support Friendica. Many will. But **please** review the requirements and confirm these with your hosting provider prior to installation.
- PHP 5.2+. The later the better. You'll need 5.3 for encryption of key exchange conversations. On a Windows environment, 5.2+ might not work as the function dns_get_record() is only available with version 5.3.
- PHP *command line* access with register_argc_argv set to true in the
php.ini file
- - curl, gd, mysql, and openssl extensions
+ - curl, gd, mysql, hash and openssl extensions
- some form of email server or email gateway such that PHP mail() works
- mcrypt (optional; used for server-to-server message encryption)
- and then you can pick up the latest changes at any time with
`git pull`
+
+ - make sure folder *view/smarty3* exists and is writable by webserver
+
+ `mkdir view/smarty3`
+
+ `chmod 777 view/smarty3`
