> Installation of bugzilla is pretty straightforward, particularly if your
machine already has MySQL and the MySQL-related perl packages installed.
If those aren't installed yet, then that's the first order of business. The
other necessary ingredient is a web server set up to run cgi scripts.
While using Apache for your webserver is not required, it is recommended.
</P
><P
> Bugzilla has been successfully installed under Solaris, Linux,
and Win32. The peculiarities of installing on Win32 (Microsoft
Windows) are not included in this section of the Guide; please
check out the <A
HREF="win32.html"
>Win32 Installation Notes</A
> for further advice
on getting Bugzilla to work on Microsoft Windows.
</P
><P
> The Bugzilla Guide is contained in the "docs/" folder in your
Bugzilla distribution. It is available in plain text
(docs/txt), HTML (docs/html), or SGML source (docs/sgml).
