It lets you store and organize your research experiments easily. It also features a database where any kind of objects (such as antibodies, plasmids, cell lines, boxes, _etc_.) can be stored.

## How it works
**eLabFTW** is designed to be installed on a server, and people from the team can log in from their browser.
# Installation
**eLabFTW** can easily be installed on any GNU/Linux server. It requires at least 512 MB of RAM (1 GB recommended) and 300 MB of disk space. Installation is done through Docker, so Docker needs to be installed on the server. Since it runs in a Docker container, php, webservers or mysql do not have to be installed on your server. Everything is provided by the containers so different versions and extensions do not matter. This makes upgrading versions much easier.
