You will need a web server, a relational database and PHP5.x+ in order to f=
ollow this tutorial. An *AMP web server is sufficient. You can use a local =
server on your own computer.
Once you have installed eZ Platform, configur=
ed your server, and started your web server, yo=
u need to create a database for this tutorial.
In this tutorial, we'll use the database name "ezplatformtutorial<=
/code>". You can create this using a GUI tool, or on the command line. For =
MySQL you can use this query: `CREATE DATABASE ezplatformtutorial CHA=
RACTER SET UTF8`. You can perform the equivalent action on the datab=
ase of your choice. We've seen good results with MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and o=
thers.
Now you are ready to begin the Tutor= ial!
As we did a clean install, the root content will be displayed using the =
default content view template.
We will customize this default content vi=
ew template in the next steps. After that, we'll create your content model =
and populate your content tree.
