N.B. Rogō is being used on Linux and Solaris servers for all known installations in the community. However, as Rogō runs on a LAMP stack there should be no issues with it running on a Windows server.

Warning

The instructions below are for an in development branch of Rogo

From Rogo 6.1 the install and update scripts will check that the listed extensions are installed before letting you proceed.
