# Requirements

- PHP 8.4 or newer — CI tests 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6
- Laravel 13
- MySQL 8 or PostgreSQL in production; SQLite works for tests
- A queue worker in production, with the pcntl extension so the job timeout is enforced and the queue connection’s retry\_after above engine.lease − 30 s, 570 s by default — DB\_QUEUE\_RETRY\_AFTER=600 for the database queue (or workflows.queue.enabled off to run steps inline)
- The scheduler running workflows:wake every minute and workflows:prune daily, with a cache store shared by every server for onOneServer()
- The Roundly packages it builds on, installed by Composer with auto-discovered providers: crypto-for-laravel (^2.0, idempotency digests — requires the hash, mbstring and openssl extensions), enums-for-laravel (^2.0) and package-toolkit-for-laravel (^2.1)
- Optional bridges, not dependencies: approvals-for-laravel (2.1 or newer), lifecycle-for-laravel, notifications-for-laravel, opening-hours-for-laravel (2.1 or newer), forms-for-laravel, teams-for-laravel and sentinel-for-laravel
