System Recommendations
Mifos is typically installed on a web server. This server can be located on-site at your head or hosted remotely in the cloud or another web hosting provider. Since Mifos is centralized and web-based, the Mifos application can then be accessed from any internet-connected device without the need to install any software locally.
Detailed system recommendations can be found on our wiki on MifosForge.
