| 81 | === CiviCRM === |
| 82 | |
| 83 | I started with a Drupal installation. I know there's a standalone version of CiviCRM - however, I chose the Drupal path because I believe it will give us more flexibility to extend CiviCRM. |
| 84 | |
| 85 | CiviCRM is firmly in the PHP version 5 camp, no php4 allowed here. In addition, it requires MySQL version 5. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | I downloaded version 2.0.4 from [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=177914 sourceforge] and unpacked it into sites/all/modules and then I pointed my browser to sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/. Most Drupal module simply need you to check a box on the modules page. Given what CiviCRM does and the behavior or the other programs during installation, this extra step seems more than reasonable. |

| 89 | CiviCRM only wants me to change the PHP memory directive (it wants 64M). Installation was very straight forward. |
