TWiki System Requirements

|---|---|---|
| Resource | Unix | Windows |

Client-Side Requirements
The TWiki standard installation has extremely low browser requirements:- HTML 3.2 compliant
- minimal use of JavaScript in the user interface (degrades gracefully)
- no cookies
- no CSS
Known Issues
- The new TWikiPlugins feature currently does not have any compatibility guidelines for developers. Plugins can require just about anything: browser-specific functions, stylesheets (CSS), Java, cookies, etc.
