Because this is a prerelease, standard hosting won't cut it. Rev 42 T2 requires:
| Component | Minimum Requirement | Recommendation |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| PHP Version | 7.2 (strictly) | 7.4 (patched with allow_url_fopen) |
| PHP Extensions | curl, json, mbstring, zip, openssl | + libxml, dom, xmlreader |
| Memory | 1GB RAM | 2GB RAM (for T2 decryption) |
| Disk | 500MB | 5GB+ for temporary downloads |
| Apache/NGINX | mod_rewrite / try_files | OpenLiteSpeed |
| Disabled PHP Functions | exec, shell_exec, system | None (T2 requires proc_open) |
