All of these requirements are satisfied by the Laravel Homestead virtual machine, so it's highly recommended that you use Homestead as your local Laravel development environment. **However, if you are not using Homestead, you will need to make sure your server meets the following requirements:** * `PHP >= 7.1. 3` * `OpenSSL PHP Extension` * `PDO PHP Extension` * `Mbstring PHP Extension` * `Tokenizer PHP Extension` * `XML PHP Extension` * `Ctype PHP Extension` * `JSON PHP Extension` * `BCMath PHP Extension` \* In most hosting accounts, these extensions are enabled by default. But you should check with your hosting provider. After installation InfixLMS to work properly, you must make a few directories/files writable. **Below is a list of directories/files you should ensure that have to write permissions.** * installation\_dir/storage/app/ * installation\_dir/storage/framework/cache * installation\_dir/storage/framework/session * installation\_dir/storage/framework/testing * installation\_dir/public/uploads/ --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://infixlms.gitbook.io/infixlms/infixlms-system-requirements.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
