Server Requirements

The PHP Script framework has a few system requirements. All of these requirements are satisfied by the PHP Script Homestead virtual machine, so it's highly recommended that you use Homestead as your local PHP Script development environment.

However, if you are not using Homestead, you will need to make sure your server meets the following requirements:

• PHP version 7.2
• BCMath PHP Extension
• Ctype PHP Extension
• JSON PHP Extension
• Mbstring PHP Extension
• OpenSSL PHP Extension
• PDO PHP Extension
• Tokenizer PHP Extension
• XML PHP Extension

What’s included

When purchasing FindHouse from Codecanyon, you will be able to download FindHouse files with your Envato account. There will be two packages for you to choose: The Main Files contains all files, or the Installable FindHouse files with just necessary installable FindHouse files.

If you choose Main Files, there will be an FindHouse Folder included:

• FindHouse Folder – contains the FindHouse.zip
• Documentation Folder – contains the Document for system
• Licensing Folder – contains the licensing files. (This is not your purchase code that you need to download from codecanyon).

To find your licence key/purchase code you need to log into your Codecanyon account and go to your “Downloads” page.

Locate some of the premium Script you purchased in your “Downloads” list and click on the Download and next on the “License Certificate&purchase code” link in drop-down menu.
