Requirements
MantisBT requires a configured web server, PHP programming language interpreter and relational database management system supported by ADOdb.
The stable branch of MantisBT (version numbers within 1.1.x) requires a version of PHP greater than or equal to 4.3.0. For the preview branch (1.2.x) and development branch (1.3.x), the minimum PHP version is 5.2.0.
MantisBT bundles a number of dependencies with each release including:
- ADOdb for abstraction of support for relational database management systems
- Disposable for disposable e-mail checking functionality
- eZ Components for plotting of statistics
- NuSOAP for SOAP web service support
- PHPMailer for e-mail sending support
- Projax for Ajax capabilities in the user interface
- RSS Builder for RSS feed support
- PHP UTF-8 wrapper library for internationalization support in absence of PHP's mb_string extension
For drawing graphs of relationships between issues, GraphViz is required. MantisBT also has an alternative dependency upon the commercial JpGraph graphics library for plotting of statistics.
