Sorry, I looked first, but didn't see a fix. When I try to install Gantry 5, I receive this error:
PHP 5.3.29 is not supported. Minimum required version is PHP 5.4.0, but it is highly recommended to use PHP 5.5.9 or later version.
Error installing package
I have Joomla 3.4.1 and my other extensions are all up to date. Not sure what other information you need, but I can provide back end access if that would help. - Last Edit: 8 years 10 months ago by Maria Dacus.

It means that your server does not have a high enough php version to support gantry 5 - so you need to ask your hosting company to upgrade your php version to at least php 5.4.x

- Thank you. For some reason, I read the error like Gantry was trying to use a lower version of PHP than my server had available. I didn't even think about the error being the other way around. It's fine now. I updated my php and it installed fine. Do you recommend updating PHP when available or only if it "breaks" something? How does this effect security and speed?

Don't just update php for the sake of it - update it if you need to and avoid "cutting edge" versions - wait until all the bugs have been ironed out before updating. php 5.6 is reportedly faster but it's also cutting edge, so i'd wait a little while longer before going to that version.
