Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This page outlines the minimum and recommended system requirements<\/strong> for installing and running KiviCare EHR<\/strong> effectively. Meeting these requirements helps ensure optimal performance, security, and stability<\/strong> for clinics, doctors, and patients using the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KiviCare EHR is built on WordPress<\/strong> with a React-powered frontend<\/strong>, which makes modern server infrastructure and browser support essential for smooth operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Server Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Minimum Server Requirements<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
