  • OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, OS X 10.9 Mavericks, OS X 10.10 Yosemite
• 1.5GHz processor
• 2GB RAM
• 1GB of hard disk space
• Linux: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 or 8.

PHP 5.6 Built-in executables

• Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 (x86 variant) must be installed in the operating system: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

Mobile development requirements

• For generation of native Android applications it is required to have:
  • The Stand-alone Android SDK Tools: https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools 
  • The Java Development Kit added to system path. We recommend Oracle (Sun) JDK 1.7 or higher (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads). Please ensure you have:
    • JAVA_HOME environment variable set (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_45)
    • %JAVA_HOME%\bin is added to system path (http://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml)

Code Trace requirements

• Flash Player must be installed in the operating system.

Known Issues

• Java 7 or later is required. Due to the update of the Eclipse Platform to Eclipse 4, Zend Studio now requires Java 7 or later version. Users who still has only Java 6 installed must install a newer version of Java.

• CordovaSim requires manual configuration of JRE (Mac OS X only). For some reason the Eclipse Platform on Mac OS X does not automatically configure the JRE that runs Studio. Users must manually configure it in the Java > Installed JREs preference page.

• Reset Perspective may be required after installation of the Terminal plugin. This is required in case it does not appear in the Show In context menu.

• During update of Studio a security warning about unsigned content may be shown. You can safely ignore this warning and proceed with the upgrade.

• Z-Ray may not render correctly inside Zend Studio on Windows. A workaround can be applied in one of the following alternative ways:

  • Modify Zend Server configuration to include the "X-UA-Compatible: IE=edge" HTTP header in the response. If Zend Server is running on Apache HTTP Server then:

    • Add the following line in the httpd.conf file:

      Header add X-UA-Compatible "IE=edge"
      

    • Restart the Apache HTTP Server.

    • Reopen the web browser inside Zend Studio.

  • Modify the application to include "X-UA-Compatible: IE=edge" HTTP header in the response:

    • Add the following line in a suitable place in your PHP code:

      header("X-UA-Compatible: IE=edge");
      

    • Reopen the web browser inside Zend Studio.

  In Zend Server 8 and later Z-Ray will automatically add the "X-UA-Compatible: IE=edge" HTTP header in the response, so the above workaround will not be required.

• Zend Debugger PHP extension is not available for PHP builds with Thread Safety enabled. You can find out the status of Thread Safety in your PHP:

  • in phpinfo() output
  • by checking the value of the predefined constant PHP_ZTS ("false" means Non Thread Safe, i.e. supported by Zend Debugger)

  If you use Thread-Safe PHP, consider Xdebug as the alternative.

• Debug session is not started for both debugging an application and debug mode enabled against OpenShift target with zend-6.1 cartridge.

• Zend Studio Crashes with Segmentation Fault in KDE 4.11 and newer, see http://kb.zend.com/zend-studio-crashes-with-segmentation-fault-in-kde-4-11

• Zend Studio menus do not show or appear only partially in the menu bar of Ubuntu 13.10 and 14.04. The issue is caused by Ubuntu's bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/1208019. See http://kb.zend.com/zend-studio-menu-does-not-work-on-ubuntu-13-10/

• Using Zend Studio's built-in PHP 5.5 binaries with Xdebug may be problematic on Windows and OS X.

  • On Windows no Xdebug package is suggested for downloading at http://xdebug.org/wizard.php (http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=1028)
  • On OS X Xdebug requires an older version of Zend Engine API than provided by Zend Studio binaries. Workaround: manually build Xdebug, following steps described at http://xdebug.org/wizard.php

• To display class inheritance charts in the documentation generated by PHPDocumentor installation of Graphviz is required. Due to compatibility issues, please install 

  • Graphviz version 2.30.1 on Mountain Lion and newer
  • Graphviz version 2.28.0 on Windows and older OS X versions
