System Requirements
The software consists of two components, a server side daemon that will be connected to the Asterisk Manager Interface and will be the mediator between Asterisk and the web clients.
The server component runs on most of the 32bits and 64bits linux flavours available today.
You will have to get the correct tarball for your OS. If there is no package for your Distro, you can try with a similar package that uses the same glibc version. For example, the Debian packages can be used in Ubuntu. You can find out your glibc version by typing in the console:

The other component is the web application, consisting of mostly javascript, html, css and a flash component.
For that reason you need a web server running to serve the files. For the dialbox and visual phonebook features you will need PHP 5 support on the web server and MySQL database installed.
Finally, your browser requires Adobe Flash Player version 9 and up and javascript enabled. Since version 2.20, FOP2 will try to use HTML5 websockets when available, so Flash is not a requirement anymore if your browser supports websockets. Flash is still needed for listenting to voicemails from the Voicemail Explorer though.
