FAQ
---
-### Which web browsers are supported?
-
-Desktop version of Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome.
-
-### Why the minimum requirement is PHP 5.3.3 or 5.3.7?
-
-Kanboard use the function `password_hash()` to crypt passwords but it's available only for PHP >= 5.5.
-However, there is a backport for [older versions of PHP](https://github.com/ircmaxell/password_compat#requirements).
-This library needs to have at least PHP 5.3.7 to work correctly (however on Debian Wheezy, PHP 5.3.3 should be fine).
-
-### How to test Kanboard with Vagrant?
-
-- Install Vagrant (http://www.vagrantup.com or apt-get install vagrant)
-- Install VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/ or apt-get install virtualbox)
-- Inside the root directory, run: vagrant up
-- Go to http://localhost:8080/index.php
-- Login with admin / admin
-
-### How to test Kanboard with the PHP built-in web server?
-
-If you don't want to install a web server like Apache on localhost. You can test with the embedded web server of PHP:
-
-```bash
-unzip kanboard-VERSION.zip
-cd kanboard
-php -S localhost:8000
-open http://localhost:8000/
-```
-
-### How to install Kanboard on Debian?
-
-```bash
-apt-get update
-apt-get install -y php5 php5-sqlite
-echo 'extension=sqlite.so' >> /etc/php5/conf.d/sqlite.ini
-cd /var/www/
-wget http://kanboard.net/kanboard-VERSION.zip
-unzip kanboard-VERSION.zip
-chown -R www-data kanboard/data
-```
-
-### How to use the webhook to create a task?
-
-Firstly, you have to get the token from the preferences page. After that, just call this url from anywhere:
-
-```bash
-# Create a task for the default project inside the first column
-curl "http://myserver/?controller=task&action=add&token=superSecretToken&title=mySuperTask"
-
-# Create a task to another project inside a specific column with the color red
-curl "http://myserver/?controller=task&action=add&token=superSecretToken&title=task123&project_id=3&column_id=7&color_id=red"
-```
-
-Webhooks are useful to perform actions from external applications (shell-script, git hooks...).
