Pre-installation Check
 
System Requirements:

Newscoop needs the following requirements to be fulfilled in order to install and run on your system.

If any of these requirements is not fulfilled (marked red), please correct them, otherwise you wont be able to continue with the installation.

Exception are PHP CLI and APC. PHP CLI (Command Line Interface) enables running utility tools such as site backup and restore. We highly recommend to enable PHP APC caching system so that your site will perform much better. However, this is not mandatory and you still will be able to continue with the installation process.
