# System Requirements

System requirements for Shopware 6: PHP, memory\_limit and other server requirements for running your shop and your theme.

Before installing Shopware 6, you should check whether your server meets the required system requirements. In this article we would like to demonstrate which requirements your server should fulfill.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: You can find the current system requirements in the official Shopware documentation linked at the end of this article.
{% endhint %}

## Shopware 6.7

* **PHP**: 8.2 or higher (8.4 recommended)
* **SQL**: MariaDB ≥ 10.11.6 or MySQL ≥ 8.0.22
* **memory\_limit**: 512M or higher
* **max\_execution\_time**: 60 seconds or higher
* see: <https://developer.shopware.com/docs/guides/hosting/>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: For themes in Shopware the value **memory\_limit** is especially relevant. Make sure it is high enough and contact your hoster when necessary.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: When saving themes, the entire Storefront is recompiled. This process is highly RAM and CPU dependent. Allocate PHP appropriate resources.
