<div class="row-fluid">
JomSocial is an extension for Joomla. To be able to use JomSocial, you would first need to install Joomla on your web host.
+
  <div class="span12">
 
+
    <div class="header header-plain">Select Your Version</div>
We recommend using the latest stable version of Joomla (currently 2.5) to enjoy its latest features and security improvements. JomSocial support the minimum requirement of:
+
      <div class="block">
 
+
* [[JomSocial 4.4 System Requirements]]
    Joomla 2.5.6 or above
+
* [[JomSocial 4.3 System Requirements]]
 
+
* [[JomSocial 4 System Requirements|JomSocial 4.0.x, 4.1.x and 4.2.x System Requirements]]
For the server, make sure it has:
+
* [[JomSocial 3 System Requirements]]
 
+
      </div>
    PHP 5.3 or above
+
  </div>
    MySQL 4.1 or above
+
</div>
 
+
JomSocial also requires several PHP extension, which are available in most host:
+
 
+
    GD library, at least v1.8 with libjpeg
+
    cURL library
+
    zip
+
    fsockopen
+
 
+
That's about all you need for most JomSocial basic functionality to work. For more advanced features including faster photo upload, video upload, and Facebook Connect--follow the sections below.

+
=== How to check for system specifications yourself ===
+
You can check most of the below requirements by heading to your Joomla backend on Help > System Info > System Information and PHP Information tab. However it is best for you to consult your webhost to have a definite overview of your server configuration.
+
 
+
=== Photo upload requirements ===
+
To process image, photo upload relies heavily on GD Library which uses a lot of memory. For a better performance, opt for ImageMagick instead if your server support it.
+
Minimum: GD library
+
Recommended: ImageMagick; to get it running, it also requires exec/passthru/shell_exec/system access
