System Requirements

The DMO is written using the PHP language, and stores its information within a MySQL database. It is a Web application, which uses the Apache Web Server, and most often runs under Linux (but will also run under most UNIX systems, including AIX, Solaris and HP-UX.) I t also runs under Windows. The Open Source version uses XAMPP as a convenient bundle of these prerequisites, however it will run on other systems with a little work.

The DMO depends on a number of other components, which include the following:

• LFXlib -- the Lanifex Library is an infrastructure library which is bundled within DMO. It provides user and group access management, plus the programming interface and various administration utilities.

• PHP -- the programming language on which DMO is based

• pdflib -- a library for the production of PDF documents. This library is commercially available, and requires a license fee to be paid for commercial use, like DMO.

• MySQL -- a database which is available in both commercial and non-commercial forms.

• Apache -- a Web server.

For ease of installation, we recommend using XAMPP, from Apache Friends, which provides a convenient bundle of the prerequisites that is easy to install and use.
