Installing AgileApps

Prerequisites

• MySQL Server - mysql-5.1.x or higher versions. We recommended you download mysql-5.5.x.

Note: If MySQL is not installed in the machine where AgileApps is installed, then make sure that MySQL binary is present in the local machine. Ensure that the command "mysql --version" returns the correct output. Without this, the mysql databases are not created in the remote machine.

• MySQL Query Browser – version 1.1.x or higher (optional). We recommend you download the latest version.
• Mail Server – ( QK SMTP Server / smtp4dev). We recommend you download the latest version.
• Memcached – Memcached 1.4.10 or later for caching. If you select Ehcache during installation, then you can skip installing memcache.
