+Requirements
+============
+
+Web server
+----------
+
+Since phpMyAdmin's interface is based entirely in your browser, you'll need a
+web server (such as Apache, nginx, :term:`IIS`) to install phpMyAdmin's files into.
+
+PHP
+---
+
+* You need PHP 5.5.0 or newer, with ``session`` support, the Standard PHP Library
+  (SPL) extension, JSON support, and the ``mbstring`` extension.
+
+* To support uploading of ZIP files, you need the PHP ``zip`` extension.
+
+* You need GD2 support in PHP to display inline thumbnails of JPEGs
+  ("image/jpeg: inline") with their original aspect ratio.
+
+* When using the cookie authentication (the default), the `openssl
+  <https://www.php.net/openssl>`_ extension is strongly suggested.
+
+* To support upload progress bars, see :ref:`faq2_9`.
+
+* To support XML and Open Document Spreadsheet importing, you need the
+  `libxml <https://www.php.net/libxml>`_ extension.
+
+* To support reCAPTCHA on the login page, you need the
+  `openssl <https://www.php.net/openssl>`_ extension.
+
+* To support displaying phpMyAdmin's latest version, you need to enable
+  ``allow_url_open`` in your :file:`php.ini` or to have the
+  `curl <https://www.php.net/curl>`_ extension.
+
+* Performance suggestion: install the ``ctype`` extension.
+
+.. seealso:: :ref:`faq1_31`, :ref:`authentication_modes`
+
+Database
+--------
+
+phpMyAdmin supports MySQL-compatible databases.
+
+* MySQL 5.5 or newer
+* MariaDB 5.5 or newer
+
+.. seealso:: :ref:`faq1_17`
+
+Web browser
+-----------
+
+To access phpMyAdmin you need a web browser with cookies and JavaScript
+enabled.
+
+You need browser which is supported by jQuery 2.0, see
+<https://jquery.com/browser-support/>.
