           |  |  | 25 | Requirements
 | 
        
           |  |  | 26 | ------------
 | 
        
           |  |  | 27 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 28 | The following requirements should be met prior to using PHPExcel:
 | 
        
           |  |  | 29 | * PHP version 5.2.0 or higher
 | 
        
           |  |  | 30 | * PHP extension php_zip enabled *)
 | 
        
           |  |  | 31 | * PHP extension php_xml enabled
 | 
        
           |  |  | 32 | * PHP extension php_gd2 enabled (if not compiled in)
 | 
        
           |  |  | 33 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 34 | *) php_zip is only needed by PHPExcel_Reader_Excel2007, PHPExcel_Writer_Excel2007,
 | 
        
           |  |  | 35 |    PHPExcel_Reader_OOCalc. In other words, if you need PHPExcel to handle .xlsx or .ods
 | 
        
           |  |  | 36 |    files you will need the zip extension, but otherwise not.
 | 
        
           |  |  | 37 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 38 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 39 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 40 | Installation instructions
 | 
        
           |  |  | 41 | -------------------------
 | 
        
           |  |  | 42 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 43 | Installation is quite easy: copy the contents of the Classes folder to any location
 | 
        
           |  |  | 44 | in your application required.
 | 
        
           |  |  | 45 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 46 | Example:
 | 
        
           |  |  | 47 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 48 | If your web root folder is /var/www/ you may want to create a subfolder called
 | 
        
           |  |  | 49 | /var/www/Classes/ and copy the files into that folder so you end up with files:
 | 
        
           |  |  | 50 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 51 | /var/www/Classes/PHPExcel.php
 | 
        
           |  |  | 52 | /var/www/Classes/PHPExcel/Calculation.php
 | 
        
           |  |  | 53 | /var/www/Classes/PHPExcel/Cell.php
 | 
        
           |  |  | 54 | ...
 | 
        
           |  |  | 55 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 56 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 57 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 58 | Getting started
 | 
        
           |  |  | 59 | ---------------
 | 
        
           |  |  | 60 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 61 | A good way to get started is to run some of the tests included in the download.
 | 
        
           |  |  | 62 | Copy the "Examples" folder next to your "Classes" folder from above so you end up with:
 | 
        
           |  |  | 63 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 64 | /var/www/Examples/01simple.php
 | 
        
           |  |  | 65 | /var/www/Examples/02types.php
 | 
        
           |  |  | 66 | ...
 | 
        
           |  |  | 67 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 68 | Start running the test by pointing your browser to the test scripts:
 | 
        
           |  |  | 69 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 70 | http://example.com/Examples/01simple.php
 | 
        
           |  |  | 71 | http://example.com/Examples/02types.php
 | 
        
           |  |  | 72 | ...
 | 
        
           |  |  | 73 |   | 
        
           |  |  | 74 | Note: It may be necessary to modify the include/require statements at the beginning of
 | 
        
           |  |  | 75 | each of the test scripts if your "Classes" folder from above is named differently.
