Chapter 2: Installation

The installation of Joomla! is a matter of two minutes. To install Joomla!, it would be best to
have the dream team mentioned in Chapter 1—Apache, MySQL, and PHP—installed as the development environment. Of course, Joomla! does not make any special demands on Apache
or MySQL. So you can also use any other web server that works with PHP.
