Technical Requirements

Installing Moodle on the on-premises server requires a web server with PHP and a database system. Alternatively, you can also install Moodle on your personal computer with a Moodle installer package, based on your operating system, that provides everything required to run the software, including Apache, MySQL, and PHP. The installer packages are available for both Mac and Windows systems.

  • Supported by most of the standard-compliant internet browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge

  • A minimum of 512 MB of RAM, while 1 GB or more of RAM is recommended on a       computer and 8 GB or more of RAM on a large production server.
