The system supports all browsers and the script is written in a way that any one can easily understand and customize with proper programming code comments to ease usability.

To install the system on your server after you must have downloaded the zipped folder containing the required files, extract the zipped file to your system and then open a file named README.txt and follow the three steps instruction given in that file.
