Minimum Requirements

We made Quix the best Page Builder for Joomla users. To install Quix and avoid any issues, there are some minimum system requirements that must be met by your system/server. After Quix is installed on your site, you can go to Quix - Help to see if you meet the minimum requirements, or if you need to update some settings.

Device

Right now, you need to use a Desktop or Laptop for installing Quix and for creating/editing content, you cannot do it on tablets or mobile phones.

Joomla Version

This documentation is based on the stable version of Joomla 3.9+. Quix will only work properly on Joomla 3.5.0 and above.

PHP Version

Currently both Joomla and Quix need PHP version 7.2.x or higher to work properly, earlier versions are no longer supported and can create problems on your site. So if you are not currently using PHP 7.2.x or higher, please contact your hosting provider and ask them to update your PHP version.
Please note that PHP 7.4 is not yet fully supported, we recommend using PHP 7.2.x or 7.3.x

PHP Extensions

cURL - Enabled
Client URL (cURL) allows you to get connected to extenral URLs and use their response in your code. Without it, Quix won’t get installed on your site.
