MANEA has modest software and hardware requirements. It requires a computer that is able to run the server software. The disk space required will depend on the size of the database, however, it is typicall driven by the expected number and size of the attachments.

  • Operating System: MANEA runs on Windows, MacOS, OS/2, Linux, Solaris, the BSDs, and just about anything that supports the required server software.
  • Web Server: MANEA is mainly tested with Microsoft IIS and Apache. However, it is expected to work with any decent web server software.
  • PHP: The web server must have PHP installed on it. It can be installed as CGI or whatever other integration technology that is supported by PHP and the web server. Required version is PHP 5.1.x or higher. Recommended version is PHP 5.2.x.
  • Database: MANEA requires a database to store its data. The supported DBMSes include MySQL (4.1.x or higher)
  • Browser: MANEA aims to support most of the browsers in the market. The mainly supported ones are Internet Explorer and Firefox. However, browsers like Safari, Chrome and Opera should also work fine although they are not used by most developers during development and testing.
  • Additional library: MANEA requires a ionCube library (free download from http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php)
