Chapter 1. Moodle Installation
Let's get started by installing Moodle.
After providing an overview that describes which setup is most suitable, software as well as hardware requirements are outlined.
We will then cover the following installations:
- Installing Moodle in a LAMP/Unix environment
- Installing Moodle in a Windows environment
- Installing Moodle in a Mac OS X environment
- Installing Moodle via the Command Line Interface (CLI)
- Upgrading Moodle manually and via CLI and Git
You will only need to study the section(s) of the operating system(s) you are planning to use. Moodle can be scaled from a single instructor to an entire institution. We will only be able to cover the most common installations and present solutions to some common problems. We also have to assume that you are familiar with basic system administration of the operating system on which you will be installing Moodle.
