- Points on Offer
You will need access to an installation of PHP-Nuke. PHP‑Nuke can be freely downloaded from www.php-nuke.org, and there are more details of how to do this in Chapter 2. PHP-Nuke requires a working installation of PHP, MySQL, and the Apache web server to run. In Appendix A, you will find instructions on how to download the XAMPP package, which has all of these ready configured.
Basic knowledge of HTML will help if you intend to explore customizing your own theme, and a basic knowledge of PHP will help if you want to get the most from Chapter 10.
