Approximately 5 megabytes of disk space is required to install, and more will be needed depending on the number of links, categories, comments and members in your directory.

WSN Links works in safe mode, and this includes all file uploads. WSN Links also works with register_globals off, or on. It will run on any server which PHP will run on, be it Windows, Linux, BSD, or other Unix.

A cookie enabled browser is required for logging into the admin panel and using the member system. WSN Links avoids the common Internet Explorer 6 default security setting problem with cookies, by supplying a privacy policy header.

Either GD (normally bundled with PHP) or ImageMagick is required for image features such as thumbnails. ImageMagick is preferable if available.
