Requirements

Piwigo requires a web hosting to run. For a photo gallery solution with all included (installation, hosting, backups), or if you simply want to try Piwigo with no installation, you may consider opening a free trial account on Piwigo.com.

Minimum Requirements

  • A web server like Nginx or Apache
  • MySQL 5 (or the equivalent with MariaDB)
  • PHP 5.3 (recommended 7.0 or 7.1)
  • A graphic library: ImageMagick is recommended for its performances and image quality but GD, often bundled with PHP, can also do the job.
  • an FTP client software will be required to upload the files (netinstall or full package): Piwigo team recommends FileZilla as FTP client software, because it is free as Piwigo is, and compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.
  • Enough disk space for your pictures: in addition to the photos you upload, Piwigo will store the "multiple sizes" in a cache directory of your server.

Optional Requirements

  • exiftool is required for plugin Write Metadata or any other plugin dealing with EXIF/IPTC metadata
  • ffmpeg is required for plugin VideoJS to create video poster
  • pdftoppm will be recommended to generate poster from PDF files (instead of ImageMagick)
