Before you install Shopware 6, you should check that your server meets the system requirements. In this article, we will show you what requirements your server should have.
Shopware generally supports most Unix-based operating systems. From experience, we recommend installing Shopware 6 on Linux (e.g. Ubuntu).
Please note that Shopware is not designed to run on a Windows server.
Please note that the requirements listed below are the minimum system requirements. Depending on how the shop is used (extensions, number of products, etc.), it is advisable to increase these accordingly.
