88If you are a Windows user or if for some reason you have issues with IMOUTO, you can still try to set things up manually. This article will try to guide you in doing that.

1111Required tools
1212------------------
1313
1414You will need to install the following:
1515
1616* Apache
1717* PHP 5.3
1818* MySQL
1919* Git client
2020
2121#### Windows users
2222
2323* [XAMPP](http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html) will do the trick for Apache/PHP/MySQL. But you may need to use version **1.7.7** of XAMPP rather than the latest version, because Tatoeba currently uses PHP 5.3.
2424* You can use [Github for Windows](https://windows.github.com/) as your Git client.
2525
2626#### Mac or Linux users
2727
2828* [XAMPP](http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) works, too.

3838Virtual host
3939---------------
4040
4141If you already have some other websites set up on your machine, you will need to set up a virtual host. The point is that instead of going to something like **http://localhost/tatoeba2**, you go to some custom URL. I personally use **http://tatoeba.dev/**.
4242
4343The reason is because CakePHP will not handle the URL rewriting properly if you try to browse through a subdirectory. You will get some error saying something like "The action tatoeba2 is not defined in controller PagesController".
4444
4545If you don't know how to set up a virtual host, you should be able to find tutorial by googling it. Here are some links.

99 CREATE DATABASE tatoeba
100 USE tatoeba
99Make sure you have started Apache and MySQL from the XAMPP Control Panel. Now you can issue "mysql -u root" to start MySQL from a Windows prompt. Issue these commands:
100
101 CREATE DATABASE tatoeba;

108110You can import the database with the command:
