		+	== System Requirements<ref>See [[Kunena 2.0 Technical Requirements]]</ref> ==

		+	===Joomla! 1.5.25+ or Joomla! 2.5.3+===
		+
		+	''Kunena'' 2.0 has a single installation package for both Joomla! 1.5 and Joomla! 2.5 (specifically, J! 1.5.25+ and J! 2.5.3+). As ''Kunena'' 2.0 relies on some of the latest features and bugfixes in both versions, installation will abort with an error message if the minimum requirements are not met.
		+
		+	It is highly recommended to always run the latest bugfix release of either Joomla! 1.5 or 2.5. At the time of writing this article, those releases were '''J! 1.5.26''' and '''J! 2.5.4'''.
		+
		+	===PHP 5.2.4+===
		+
		+	''Kunena'' 2.0 requires PHP 5.2.4 or higher. Installation will abort with an error message if the minimum requirements are not met.
		+
		+	Even though PHP 5.2 is supported, it is recommended to use the latest stable release of PHP 5.3 (currently 5.3.10). PHP 5.4 is also supported, but may display some notices and warnings if PHP is configured to display errors.
		+
		+	===MySQL 5.0.4+ ===
		+
		+	''Kunena'' 2.0 requires MySQL 5.0.4 or later. Installation will abort with an error message if the minimum requirements are not met.
		+
		+	'''Note for Joomla! 1.5:''' MySQL 4 is not supported even though Joomla! 1.5 itself can be run on certain versions of MySQL 4. The main difference is the amount of database workload generated by a forum component compared to the basic CMS functionality.
		+
		+	'''Note for Joomla! 2.5:''' While Joomla! 2.5 supports multiple database drivers, Kunena 2.0 is designed to work only with MySQL. Support for other drivers will be added into later releases.
		+
		+	=== Third party components requirements ===
		+
		+	Because of major architectural changes, all software that integrates with ''Kunena'' needs to be adapted to the new version. For developers, there is some documentation written on the subject, like [[Detecting Kunena Version]], [[Kunena Framework]] and [[Developing Kunena Router]].
		+
		+	{{vrs\|2.0.0 Beta 2}}This is a test version of ''Kunena'' and the focus of this release is directed at the ''Kunena'' component only and does not address other Joomla extensions that have not been tested in this version. At the time of the release of this test version there is no third-party integration, other modules or plugins, with Kunena 2.0.0 Beta 1. By default, these are disabled or not yet complete.
		+
		+	The purpose of releasing K 2.0.0 Beta 2 to the public is to:
		+	# To test that core component features work; and
		+	# To give 3rd party developers the opportunity to adapt their products to support integration with K 2.0. 3rd party developers may want to contact the [http://www.kunena.org/team ''Kunena'' development team] who will be pleased to help.
		+
		+	=== Third party ACL components requirements in Joomla 1.5 ===
		+
		+	If you want use third party ACL components with K 2.0 and Joomla 1.5, you may use the following:
		+
		+	*[http://www.theartofjoomla.com/extensions/artof-user.html ArtOf User] 1.1.1
		+
		+	=== Directories which need to have write permissions ===
		+
		+	The following directories need to have write permissions, in order to allow ''Kunena'' to be installed on your Joomla installation.
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	/administrator/components
		+	/components
		+	/media
		+	/plugins
		+	/plugins/system
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	== Compatibility with Third-party ''Kunena'' Templates ==
		+
		+	{{KVT_incompat\|2.0.0\|1.7}}
		+
		+	{{vrs\|2.0}}''Kunena'' 2.0 introduces a new templating system which is based on Joomla! MVC and new tableless and CSS3 design initiatives that are very different from ''Kunena'' 1.6 and 1.7.
		+
		+	The new ''Kunena'' templating system allows people to use templates from previous versions of ''Kunena'' where people only changed the CSS files and images. The legacy '''Blue Eagle''' template has been retained for this version because the newer K 2.0 templates still have some missing features. The legacy template support will be removed in the next major release of ''Kunena'' (K 3.0); The legacy '''Blue Eagle''' template will remain to assist users in their transition from older versions of ''Kunena'' to K 2.0 before moving to the updated templating architecture. For more information, please read [[Updating existing templates to Kunena 2.0]].
		+
		+	The new templating initiatives mentioned above have been suspended for this test release. Included with the K 2.0.0 Beta 1 is an updated '''Blue Eagle''' "backwards-compatible" template. In due course, later releases will not install '''Blue Eagle''' for '''''new''''' sites by default but they will be installed for ''Kunena'' updates. You should be planning to use the new templates when K 2.0 stable is released.
		+
		+	== Compatibility with Third-party ''Kunena'' Modules ==
		+
		+	{{KVM_incompat\|2.0.0\|1.7}}
		+	''Kunena'' 2.0 provides a new framework for easily creating modules or plug-ins. The old API from K 1.7 has been removed, which basically means that old add-ons cannot even detect K 2.0. Updated modules and plugins will be available later.
		+
		+	If you are getting white pages or various errors and notifications after upgrading to Kunena 2.0, it is likely that you have forgotten to upgrade or disable some of the extensions that integrate to Kunena. In that case, please review all the components, modules and plugins that are known to integrate with Kunena.
		+
		+	If you are experiencing fatal errors, white pages and internal server errors you should contact the authors of the failing extension and ask them if they are [[Detecting Kunena Version]] and using [[Kunena Framework]] instead of having custom code of their own.
		+
		+	== Downloading ''Kunena'' ==
		+
		+	We use the power of Github as our public source code repository. We encourage all users and open source developers to help develop fixes, features and enhancements to the existing code base. If you are interested in contributing, please provide a patch or enhanced branch and we will be happy to consider it for inclusion in the main code branch (quality and feature completeness permitting).
		+
		+	Find the GIT source code repository here: [https://github.com/Kunena/Kunena-2.0 Browse source code]
		+
		+	== Installing or Upgrading ''Kunena'' ==
		+
		+	{{ambox\|type=speedy\|text=The K 2.0 installation process will fail if your system does not meet or exceed the minimum [[Kunena 2.0 Technical Requirements\|Technical Requirements]] \|image=[[Image:Imbox deletion.png]]}}
		+
		+	Be sure your setup meets or exceeds the minimum [[Kunena 2.0 Technical Requirements\|Technical Requirements]] or the install/upgrade process will fail.
		+
		+	To install ''Kunena'', make sure you read our [[Kunena 2.0 Installation Guide\|Installation Guide]] before beginning.
		+	To upgrade ''Kunena'' from previous versions (including ''FireBoard''), make sure you read the [[Kunena 2.0 Upgrade Guide\|Upgrade Guide]].
		+
		+	The ''Kunena'' installer handles both installs and upgrades of existing installations without the need for user intervention, manual SQL execution, or migration procedures. It also keeps a detailed log of all ''Kunena'' versions installed on your site in order to perform incremental upgrades as necessary. This means that a site administrator doesn't have to worry about complicated installation or upgrade procedures.
		+
		+	We would like to underscore the importance of backups before and after any upgrade process.
		+	'''
		+
		+	== Never perform an install or upgrade without a full backup. ==
		+
		+	{{ambox\|type=speedy\|text='''If you install Kunena 2.0 into your site, there's no other way to go back other than restoring a backup!'''\|image=[[Image:Stop_hand_nuvola.svg.png‎]]}}
		+
		+	== Credits ==
		+
		+	An open source project like ''Kunena'' requires the dedication and investment of personal time from various contributors. This version of ''Kunena'' has been made possible by the following:
		+
		+	* Matias ''Kunena'' developer
		+	* xillibit ''Kunena'' developer
		+	* fxstein ''Kunena'' developer and admin of http://www.starVmax.com/forum/
