This section describes Anuko Time Tracker installation process in general. Basically, you need to have several components working together before installing Anuko Time Tracker. They are:

• A clean from viruses and spyware operating system, which is updated with the latest security patches and / or service packs or fixes.
• A web server that can render HTML and PHP files.
