After decompressing the archive, there will be a new directory called legalcase:

Move the legalcase directory in a space accessible by the Apache Web server:

Provide the permission to “write” to the Apache Web server for the directories log, inc/config and inc/data:

Access to this directory from your Web browser: http://localhost/legalcase/ and follow the instructions from the installation assistant.

LCM uses a client-server model. Most of the work is done by the server (web and database), while clients can use LCM with the help of a standard compliant web browser. The server and client can also run on the same computer.

Server

 Apache 1.3.x or Apache 2.x;
 PHP >= 4.0.3 (not tested with PHP5, but it should work);
 MySQL >= 3.23.

Recommended

 PHP XML support (for utf8_decode) — lack of this function will not cause problems, only that it will allow less strict validation of the lenght of usernames and passwords;

 PHP 4.2.0 (for various security reasons).

Client

 A recent standards-compliant web browser, such as:

• Mozilla Firefox >= 0.9;
• Mozilla >= 1.6;
• Safari (for MacOSX users);
• Konqueror, Gnome-Epiphany, etc.;
• We also try to support text-mode web browsers such as Lynx and Links.
• Microsoft Internet Explorer >= 5.5 might also work, but it is not recommended for various security reasons and non-standard compliance.
