Sulu needs a System to run on. Here are the requirements.

For successfully running Sulu you'll have to fulfill the following system requirements:

* Mac OSX, Linux or Windows
* Webserver (`apache <http://httpd.apache.org/>`_ or `nginx <http://nginx.org/>`_ with enabled URL rewriting)
* `PHP <http://php.net/>`_ 5.5 or higher
* Database (`MySQL <http://www.mysql.com/>`_, `PostgreSQL <http://www.postgresql.org/>`_ or any other database supported by `doctrine <http://www.doctrine-project.org/>`_)
* `composer <https://getcomposer.org/>`_

Some of the following links may help you:
