Can Raphaël run on shared hosting?

Yes. Because it is static JavaScript run by the visitor's browser, a standard shared cPanel account can host it. It creates no meaningful server load and does not need SSH, Composer or other special access.

How do I install Raphaël?

In cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, choose Raphael and click Install. It is usually a few clicks with no manual upload. Softaculous copies the library files to a directory of your account, and you reference them from your own pages.

Is Raphaël still maintained?

The newest release we could verify is 2.3.0 from August 2019. The official site still calls the project maintained, but with no recent release found, it is safest to test carefully and consider alternatives for new projects.

Is Raphaël free to use?

Yes. Raphaël is open-source software released under the MIT licence, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.

Can I install other applications on the same plan as Raphaël?

Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run Raphaël alongside other apps in its category (Libraries), such as jQuery and AngularJS, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.

Which Hostripples plan should I choose for Raphaël?

Raphaël is documented as a light application, so the Starter plan is a sensible start for one site; upgrade any time if traffic grows.

Do you migrate my existing Raphaël site for free?

Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.

What is Raphaël?

Raphaël is a small JavaScript library for working with vector graphics on the web, created by Dmitry Baranovskiy. It builds graphics on the SVG standard, with VML for older Internet Explorer, so each shape is a DOM element that can take event handlers. It is a library, not a site you run: Softaculous places the files in your account.

How to install Raphaël on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, Raphaël is live

Project status: The latest release visible on the official GitHub releases page and on Softaculous is 2.3.0 from August 2019, more than three years ago. The official site still describes the project as maintained, but no newer release could be verified. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.

Licence: MIT · Built with: JavaScript (runs in the browser) · Official site: dmitrybaranovskiy.github.io/raphael

Common uses

Custom interactive charts and diagrams
Image crop and rotate widgets
Vector graphics in older browser-support projects

Raphaël requirements

PHP: Not required (client-side JavaScript library)
Database: none

Raphaël runs in the visitor's browser, so the server only serves static files and needs no PHP or database. The last release found is from 2019, so check it fits your project before adopting it.
