===== System Requirements =====

You'll need the following:

  * Any modern web browser: Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer ((jqGrid support all browsers that jQuery library supports. For more information refer [[http://docs.jquery.com/Browser_Compatibility | here]] ))

  * jQuery library, version 1.3 or later: http://www.jquery.com .

  * Your choice of a jQuery UI theme: http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/#themeGallery

  * The jqGrid plugin: http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=6

If you want to draw grids based on local (static) data, you'll need to assemble an array, or an xml data file, or a JSON file with data.

But the primary purpose of jqGrid is to manipulate and represent dynamic data over the web.  For this you will also need:
 
  *A web server (e.g., IIS, Apache, Tomcat),
  *A database backend (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MSSQL), and
  *A server-side scripting language (e.g., PHP, ASP, etc.)
