Hi,
I see here: https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/774/requirements
That system function are under recommended . But when I try to install i get an error about system non enabled and I can get to the next step.

So are those recommended or not?
Thanks!!!

Welcome to Jamroom!

Yep - I would highly recommend having the system function available - Jamroom uses several packaged binaries (ffmpeg, sox, etc) to handle media manipulation and other tasks. The reason the installer doesn't stop you is that you CAN run Jamroom without these functions, but they will impact some of the features you'll be able to use.

Let me know if that helps.

Sorry... I made an error in my previous post. The installer stops me (I CAN'T go on). So it seems it i required.

Ah - sorry about that - just checked the installer and you are right. So you'll want to get setup on a system that has all the PHP functions available. JR uses system() for quite a number of things (with JR 6.1 it uses it for VERY fast image resizing using epeg), so it's worth it to get setup with the support.

Hope this helps!
