Requirements
============

The modular nature of SlaxWeb Framework allows easy installation and setup with
minimal amount of resources required. It does not even require a database in order
to run. The services required are:

* PHP 7.0

Yes, this is it. Since PHP 7.0 provides an internal web server, it is the only requirement
to get SlaxWeb up and about. However, for a full production installation, the following
services are recommended:

* Composer
* Web Server, such as Ngix, Apache, etc.

Apart from these we provide Docker_ containers, for easy, simple and fast deployment
of a SlaxWeb Framework powered Application. For more about using the Framework with
Docker, please refer to the :ref:`getting started docker` part of the documentation.
