Yes, it is possible to install and run Koha on a Windows platform. Koha is written in Perl, stores its data in a
MySQL database, and is accessed via an Apache webserver. All three of these supporting programs have
distributions for Windows and are not hard to install. And they are all available without cost, just like Koha.
A Windows install package is available for Koha that installs all the Koha files to the proper locations,
installs required Perl modules, and handles necessary basic configuration to be able to run Koha with sample
data.
How difficult is it to install Koha on Windows?
If you are willing to read and follow some simple instructions, it's not very difficult. To be clear, it is not yet
as simple as a single install. But it no harder than installing on a Linux box. You need to perform four
separate installations as follows:
1. Apache Webserver
2. MySQL Database
3. Perl
4. Koha W32 install
