 You need PHP 5.4 (or newer, PHP 7 is fine) compiled with the following modules (those

 are actually very common and should be available in any reasonable Linux distro):

 

--   PDO with support for PostgreSQL or MySQL depending on the database server used

--   Legacy PostgreSQL or MySQL drivers may be needed for plugins not yet migrated to PDO

+-   PDO with support for PostgreSQL or MySQL depending on the database server used - some distributions need both PDO and database-specific drivers, i.e. php-pgsql

 -   JSON

--   XML (DOMDocument)

+-   XML (DOMDocument, DOMXpath)

 -   mbstring

 -   fileinfo

--   CURL (not required, but highly recommended) OR support for remote fopen()

+

+### Not required, but recommended:

+

+-   CURL (highly recommended, just install it) **OR** support for remote fopen()

 -   POSIX functions (for the multiprocess update daemon, otherwise not needed)

 -   GD (needed for OTP and some plugins)

 

 ### Notes:

 

+* Some kind of opcode cache/accelerator is recommended (depends on PHP version/distro: php5-apc, php7-opcache, etc)

 * If your PHP install is missing any of the required modules tt-rss should notify you on startup.

-* Enabling PHP built-in opcode cache or some other kind of accelerator is a good idea.

 * Plugins may have additional dependencies i.e. several bundled plugins require CURL.

 * **PHP safe mode is not supported.**

+

+### Debian 9 example:

+

+<code>

+# apt install php7.0-cli php7.0-curl php7.0-mbstring php7.0-json php7.0-gd php7.0-pgsql php7.0-xml php7.0-opcache

+</code>

+

+If you're starting from scratch you will also likely need several other packages, including httpd and FPM.
