XenoForo has the following requirements:

• PHP: 7.0 (PHP 7.4 recommended)
  
• MySQL: 5.5 (MariaDB / Percona also compatible)
  
• PHP extensions: MySQLi, GD (with JPEG support), PCRE, cURL, SPL, SimpleXML, DOM, JSON, iconv, ctype
  
• Common PHP functions must not be disabled
  

They offer a requirements test script to know if your machine is capable of running their product.

Agreed. However Xenforo is expensive, unless you have a contact who can provide you with a free License. I get a sense of that it's for business entrepreneurs who don't mind paying for a license for more sophisticated and up market Forum scripts. It looks pretty and classy. And is used for exclusive forum discussions for their clients or customers - attached to professional websites.

For me even the price of the script is over the top for a Forum - $140 - except of cause vBulletin, but vBulletin has much more to offer than XenForo for the same category person who wants a serious Forum.
