We recommend you to run GitLab on a server with at least 1GB RAM.

The necessary hard disk space largely depends on the size of the repos you want
|
|
|
|
|
to use GitLab with. But as a *rule of thumb* you should have at least as much
|
|
|
|
|
free space as your all repos combined take up.

# Operating Systems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GitLab is developed for the Linux operating system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GitLab officially supports (recent versions of) these Linux distributions:
|
2012-10-25 10:13:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Ubuntu Linux
|
|
|
|
|
- Debian/GNU Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-12-05 19:31:08 +01:00
|
|
|
It should also work on (though they are not officially supported):
|

|
|
|
|
2012-12-05 19:31:08 +01:00
|
|
|
- Arch
|
|
|
|
|
- CentOS
|
2012-10-25 10:13:11 +02:00
|
|
|
- Fedora
|
2012-12-05 19:31:08 +01:00
|
|
|
- Gentoo
|
2012-10-25 10:13:11 +02:00
|
|
|
- RedHat
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-12-05 19:31:08 +01:00
|
|
|
## Other Unix Systems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is nothing that prevents GitLab from running on other Unix operating
|
|
|
|
|
systems. This means you may get it to work on systems running FreeBSD or OS X.
|
|
|
|
|
**If you want to try, please proceed with caution!**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GitLab does **not** run on Windows and we have no plans of supporting it in the
|
|
|
|
|
near future.

# Rubies

|
|
|
GitLab requires Ruby (MRI) 1.9.3 and several Gems with native components.
|
|
|
|
|
While it is generally possible to use other Rubies (like
|
|
|
|
|
[JRuby](http://jruby.org/) or [Rubinius](http://rubini.us/)) it might require
|
|
|
|
|
some work on your part.
