The following table provides more details of the stages for this process.
| Stage | Description |

| Reference | |
|---|---|
| Minimum system requirements | As long as the minimum system requirements are met, you can take any approach and chose any platform configuration you wish. |
| Installing PhixFlow | |

Often this is enough to support the sales/ proposal stage of the process, although in some cases this step of the process will require further detail, in particular elemetnts of the detailed infrastructure planning
to clarify the sales proposal. This includes deciding:
| Planning your PhixFlow System |
| Infrastructure planning and delivery | This stage usually involves engagement between PhixFlow's technical team and yours. This is a chance to establish things like: software versions number; detailed backup plans; service configurations, including disk partitioning; detailed discussion of network components. In many virtualised platforms, databases will the either hosted as cloud native (or "serverless"), or will be created using pre-created image which includes partitioning of the server disks as well as the database installation itself, so the database installation may be covered in some detail, and indeed fully delivered, at this stage. |
| Infrastructure planning | |
| PhixFlow installation | At this stage, system administators

| Proof of concept | In many cases, a proof of concept installation of PhixFlow is created early on in discussions, with only minimal consideration of long term planning concerns, and this runs through to the point at which PhixFlow is made available on the fully planned platform. The proof of concept built can be on any platform that meets the minimum system requirements, but we have also provided an example installation that you can run through from initial server creation to a fully operational PhixFlow, based on the Ubuntu distribution of linux, and the MariaDB database. | Min system reqs/ quick install start |
