Preparing your system

- MySQL (up to version 5.6) or MariaDB
- Perl
For administration purposes you will need:
- Root on the server (or a user capable to do all operations as sudo)
- A reasonable level of comfort with the command line
- Database administration skills (Create, delete, and add users to a MySql database)
