Attention

TYPO3 v8 has reached its end-of-life March 31st, 2020 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

System Requirements

TYPO3 requires a web server, PHP and a database system.

• TYPO3 requires a web server which can run PHP (Apache httpd, Nginx, Microsoft IIS).

• TYPO3 8 requires PHP >= 7.0.8 <= 7.4.99.

• TYPO3 can be used with a great many database systems (MariaDB >= 10.0.0 <= 10.2.26, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL >= 5.0 <= 5.7, PostgreSQL).

If you use an Apache web server, the module mod_rewrite must be activated. Certain PHP extensions are necessary, others recommended. You possibly want to adjust the memory limit; at least 128 MB is recommended.

If you want TYPO3 to automatically carry out image processing – for example scaling or cropping – you will need GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick (version 6 or newer) installed on the server.

A detailed list of these requirements is enclosed in the file INSTALL.md inside the TYPO3 source package.

Should you encounter problems, the "Troubleshooting" section at the end of this document will help.
