02. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-----------------------

Real Estate Manager is a Joomla Real Estate  component. It needs a functioning Joomla 1.5.x
installation. Real Estate Manager needs PHP 5-8 with SOAP, CURL, XSL and GD
extensions to function properly.

PLEASE CHECK BEFORE INSTALLING Real Estate Manager:
In order for csv export to work, you need to compile PHP5 with support for the
XSL extension!
In order for CAPTCHA images (Guest User anti-spam for reviews and suggestions)
to work, you need to compile PHP5 with the GD extension!

CHECK YOUR PHP INSTALLATION FOR PROPER EXTENSIONS:
First please make sure PHP5 has the above extensions enabled!
- If you run your own web server, please recompile PHP with support for XSL,
  SOAP, CURL, GD.
- If your website is with a hosting provider, check with them for the inclusion
  of these PHP extensions.
Real Estate Manager needs these PHP extensions to install and function correctly!

INSTALLER CHECK FOR PHP EXTENSIONS:
The Real Estate Manager installer will check for the availability of these PHP
extensions and issue a warning if they are missing. If you get such a warning,
just uninstall Real Estate Manager, fix the PHP extensions first, and then
reinstall Real Estate Manager.

PLEASE NOTE:
Even though we can do checks for the proper PHP extensions inside the
Real Estate Manager installer package, we have no way to roll back the installation
once started, not even when a check fails. So installation will continue, even
if a PHP extension is not present. This is unfortunately a limitation of the
Joomla installer!
