# CharmBoard installation instructions
|
|
|
|
Please keep in mind that CharmBoard is alpha software, and as such should not be used in a production environment and will likely be unstable or insecure.
|
|
|
|
## Preparation
|
|
|
|
### Selecting a database type
|
|
|
|
CharmBoard supports two different types of databases. Below is a table listing off each type, as well as an explanation of the differences for people who are unsure which to pick.
|
|
|
|
| Name | config value | DBD package | Information |
|
|
|-|-|-|-|
|
|
| SQLite | `sqlite` | `DBD:SQLite` | Good for small installs (i.e. a private forum with one friend group, etc.)<br />Easy to set up as the database is contained in a standalone file. |
|
|
| MySQL | `mysql` | `DBD:mysql` | Has better performance on larger databases than SQLite does.<br />Harder to set up than SQLite as it requires the separate database server software to be set up alongside CharmBoard. |

|
|
### Installing dependencies
