Summary


The goal of this chapter was to familiarize you with Redmine and get you ready to dig deeper into this amazing web application. Therefore, we not only reviewed the advantages and the interface of Redmine, but also checked its installation components. We even discussed forks of Redmine, as I believe it's good to know about them if you are going to become a member of the Redmine community.

I have tried to share as much knowledge about the installation components of Redmine as possible so that you can understand them better, learn what options you have, and be able to choose the right one. Still, remember that usually the best option is the one that is used by most users. So, if you choose an uncommon option, you should be sure about your reasons for doing so.

The knowledge that you have gained by reading this chapter should come in handy in the next one, as you will need to decide which components to use for installation.
