Synergyx can be installed on your web account if it meets the following specifications
- Unix/Linux Operating System (sorry, no NT servers)
- Perl version 5.003 or higher
- CGI-BIN for your account
- FTP access (TELNET access makes things even easier for us, but isn't required)
SSI (Server-side Includes) isn't required, but will give you more affiliate link flexibility

your account must have the ability to load pages/scripts via a secure connection.
The above features are standard on MOST Unix-based web accounts.
