Chapter 2: Installation

The installation of Joomla! is a matter of five minutes. If you have installed it before, you can do it in two minutes. You will have the opportunity to test this in Chapter 8. In order to be able to even start the installation, your development environment must include a web server that supports PHP and a database that is supported by Joomla!. Joomla! is one piece of the puzzle in this so-called Client-Server System.
