-_Server and client requirements_
-
-Low client and server base requirements are core features that keep TWiki widely deployable, particularly across a range of browser platforms and versions. Many [[Plugins|TWiki:Plugins/PluginPackage]] and [[contrib modules|TWiki:Plugins/ContribPackage]] exist which enhance and expand TWiki's capabilities; they may have additional requirements.

-TWiki is written in Perl 5, uses a number of shell commands, and requires [RCS (Revision Control System)](http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/rcs.html), a GNU Free Software package. TWiki is developed in a basic Linux/Apache environment. It also works with Microsoft Windows, and should have no problem on any other platform that meets the requirements.

-Most of them will probably already be available in your installation. You can check version numbers with the `configure` script, or if you're still trying to get to that point, check from the command line like this:
-
- perl -e 'use FileHandle; print $FileHandle::VERSION."\n"'

-The TWiki [[standard installation|Main/TWikiInstallationGuide]] has relatively low browser requirements:
-
-- HTML 3.2 compliant
-- Cookies, if persistent sessions are required
-
-CSS and Javascript are used in most skins, although there is a low-fat skin (Classic skin) available that minimises these requirements. Some skins will require more recent releases of browsers. The default skin (Pattern) is tested on IE 6, Safari, and Mozilla 5.0 based browsers (such as Firefox).
-
-You can easily select a balance of browser capability versus look and feel. Try the installed skins at %SYSTEMWEB%.TWikiSkinBrowser and more at TWiki:Plugins.SkinPackage.

-
-- Plugins can require just about anything - browser-specific functions, stylesheets (CSS), Java applets, cookies, specific Perl modules,... - check the individual Plugin specs.
