Easy to install
We’ve tried to make Perch as easy to install as possible.
You will need a server running PHP5 and MySQL, and the name and login details of a MySQL database that you can use for the Perch tables.
To check that Perch will run on your server you can download and run the Perch Server Compatibility Test Suite which will check that your local or live server meets the requirements. There is a video walking you through the steps to install this test.
If the test runs then installing Perch should be very quick and easy as you have already checked that your database is present and correct. Watch the installation video to see a typical install process.
If you run into any problems with the test or installing Perch then we’ll be happy to help you.
