Docs › Piwik requirements
To run Piwik your host just needs a couple of things:
- PHP version 5.1.3 or greater
- MySQL version 4.1 or greater
- (enabled by default) PHP extension pdo and pdo_mysql
Recommended configuration
To make the most out of Piwik, you would also need the PHP GD extension: it is used to generate the sparklines (small graphs) in Piwik.
For medium/high traffic websites, we recommend your memory_limit value in your php.ini config file to be at least memory_limit = 128M.
