The main software components you need for a working LiveJournal installation
|
||
|
|
are as follows (the recommended version is noted):

A complete list of modules need to run a LiveJournal installation can be found at <xref linkend="lj.install.perl_setup.modules" />.
|
||
|
|
Some modules such as GD and Compress::Zlib require certain system libraries to be pre-installed
|
||
|
|
on your machine in order to work. The author-provided README files for perl modules explain what is necessary.

|
There are no specific hardware requirements for a LiveJournal installation, but Apache/mod_perl
|
||
|
|
and MySQL can utilize a lot of memory very quickly. Determining the right amount of processor
|
||
|
|
speed, storage space, and RAM depends on how busy your LiveJournal installation will be. A
|
||
|
|
simple rule of thumb to remember is that posts and comments drive site traffic, not necessarily the presence
|
||
|
|
of more users.
