Installation and PHP version [SOLVED]

[Florianca]

Hello.

I want to install Magento 2.2.0 CE on an Ubuntu server.

I installed PHP 7.0:

http://prntscr.com/gt1x0o

But, when I try to get to localhost, I get this:

http://prntscr.com/gt1xbd

I also tried with PHP 5.6, I get an error and the Internet told me to upgrade to 7.x.

The documentation says that I am supposed to be able to run magento.

Could someone explain me why?

Thanks

Edit: Ok, worked with PHP 7.1, but had to read the release note to know that, seriously..?

Hi @Florianca,

You have the system requirment page here: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/install-gde/system-requirements-tech.html

Also, according with php version you can check the composer.json file to be sure: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.2-develop/composer.json

There you'll find the required/possible versions too.
