<h2>Web server<a class="headerlink" href="#web-server" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Since phpMyAdmin’s interface is based entirely in your browser, you’ll need a
web server (such as Apache, nginx, <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-IIS"><span class="xref std std-term">IIS</span></a>) to install phpMyAdmin’s files into.</p>
