# System Requirements

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.

## Shopware 6.5

* **PHP**: 8.1 or higher
* **memory\_limit**: 512M or higher
* **max\_execution\_time**: 60 seconds or higher
* **Browser** ([see](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/getting-started/browsers-devices/)):
  * Chrome >= 60
  * Firefox >= 60
  * iOS >= 12
  * Safari >= 12
  * not Explorer <= 11

## Shopware 6.4

* **PHP**: 7.4.3 or higher
* **memory\_limit**: 512M or higher
* **max\_execution\_time**: 60 seconds or higher

## Shopware 6.3 or below

* **PHP**: 7.2 or higher (7.2.20 and 7.3.7 are incompatible)

* **max\_execution\_time**: 60 seconds or higher

{% 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 Storfront is recompiled. This process is highly RAM and CPU dependent. Allocate PHP appropriate resources.
{% endhint %}
