Movim runs on any web server with PHP, Curl and GD. The detailed requirements are:

• PHP5.3 or greater with the following extensions:
  • Curl library
  • GD library
  • JSON
  • SimpleXML
  • MySQL
• A web server: apache, lighttpd (Note that other web servers should work, with the possible exception of IIS, which hasn’t been tested.)

An XMPP web server with Bosh and Pubsub is also necessary, but you don’t need to install one, you can use an existing server. We provide such a server at movim.eu.

Movim may be downloaded from https://launchpad.net/movim/+download.

You can also get the latest development version on our Bazaar branch at https://code.launchpad.net/movim. Be advised that this version is not stable and in fact it isn’t even guaranteed to work.

After downloading the Movim archive, simply extract it somewhere in your web server's root directory. You will need to give write access to your webserver to the root install directory.

Then visit your Movim URL, you'll see the installer. If you're in a hurry, fill in the MySQL details and click Install, then click Jump in !.

Please note that not every XMPP server will work with Movim. Your server needs to have Bosh enabled for this. You can register an account on the server we provide etenil.thruhere.net to try out Movim.

To change your Bosh server, edit the file config/conf.xml and change the options boshHost, boshSuffix and boshPort.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<data>
  ...
  <boshHost>natsu.upyum.com</boshHost>
  <boshSuffix>http-bind</boshSuffix>	
  <boshPort>5280</boshPort>
  ...
</data>
