# >current release 0.9.7.4

### Release information[¶](https://github.com/opencats/gitbook/blob/main/broken-reference/README.md)

The current OpenCATS release is 0.9.7.4 and the most recent release will always be available at <https://github.com/opencats/opencats/releases>

#### Dependencies

The main dependencies for this software are PHP and MariaDB. PHP 7.2 and MariaDB 10.6 are the most recent versions supported. **Higher levels may work, but are untested**

**Note:** MySQL is now unsupported due to some divergence between MariaDB and MySQL. MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL. Additional utilities (antiword, html2text, unrtf, etc) are necessary for full-text indexing of uploaded resume's. These are not required for installing OpenCATS, and can be added in later.

#### Which package to install?

If you want a simple install, then please check you've downloaded and installed the \*-full package on the releases page <https://github.com/opencats/opencats/releases> and not the source code or have cloned the master repository.

If you've done either of the last two, you'll need to download and run composer [https://getcomposer.org/)](https://getcomposer.org/) to pick up the dependencies which are already bundled in the -\*full package.\
**To avoid pulling in development packages, run composer install with the --no-dev option**

```
composer install --no-dev
```
