## Platform requirements:
**The project is designed for the Linux operating system.**
It may work on FreeBSD and Mac OS, but we don't test our application for these systems and can't guarantee stability and full functionality.
We officially support (recent versions of) these Linux distributions:
- Ubuntu Linux
- Debian/GNU Linux
It should work on:
- Fedora
- CentOs
- RedHat
You might have some luck using these, but no guarantees:
- MacOS X
- FreeBSD
GitLab does **not** run on Windows and we have no plans of making GitLab compatible.
## Hardware:
We recommend to use server with at least 1GB RAM for gitlab instance.
## This installation guide created for Debian/Ubuntu and properly tested.
The installation consists of 6 steps:
1. Install packages / dependencies
2. Install ruby
3. Install Gitolite
4. Install and configure GitLab.
5. Start the web front-end
6. Start a Resque worker (for background processing)
### IMPORTANT
Please make sure you have followed all the steps below before posting to the mailing list with installation and configuration questions.
Only create a GitHub Issue if you want a specific part of this installation guide updated.
Also read the [Read this before you submit an issue](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/wiki/Read-this-before-you-submit-an-issue) wiki page.

> The first 3 steps of this guide can be easily skipped by executing an install script:
>
> # Install curl and sudo
> apt-get install curl sudo
>
> # 3 steps in 1 command :)
> curl https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/install/debian_ubuntu.sh | sh
>
> Now you can go to [Step 4](#4-install-gitlab-and-configuration-check-status-configuration)
>
> Or if you are installing on Amazon Web Services using Ubuntu 12.04 you can do all steps (1 to 6) at once with:
>
> curl https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/install/debian_ubuntu_aws.sh | sh
>
> for more detailed instructions read the HOWTO section of [the script](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/blob/master/install/debian_ubuntu_aws.sh)

# 1. Install packages
*Keep in mind that `sudo` is not installed on Debian by default. You should install it as root:*
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install sudo
Now install the required packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y wget curl gcc checkinstall libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libreadline6-dev libc6-dev libssl-dev libmysql++-dev make build-essential zlib1g-dev libicu-dev redis-server openssh-server git-core python-dev python-pip libyaml-dev postfix
# Database
## SQLite
sudo apt-get install -y sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
## MySQL
sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev
# Login to MySQL
$ mysql -u root -p
# Create the GitLab production database
mysql> CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `gitlabhq_production` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET `utf8` COLLATE `utf8_unicode_ci`;
# Create the MySQL User change $password to a real password
mysql> CREATE USER 'gitlab'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '$password';
# Grant proper permissions to the MySQL User
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER ON `gitlabhq_production`.* TO 'gitlab'@'localhost';
## PostgreSQL
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-9.2 postgresql-server-dev-9.2
# Connect to database server
sudo -u postgres psql -d template1
# Add a user called gitlab. Change $password to a real password
template1=# CREATE USER gitlab WITH PASSWORD '$password';
# Create the GitLab production database
template1=# CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS gitlabhq_production;
# Grant all privileges on database
template1=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE gitlabhq_production to gitlab;
# Quit from PostgreSQL server
template1=# \q
# Try connect to new database
$ su - gitlab
$ psql -d gitlabhq_production -U gitlab
# 2. Install Ruby
wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.3-p194.tar.gz
tar xfvz ruby-1.9.3-p194.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.9.3-p194
./configure
make
sudo make install
# 3. Install Gitolite
Create user for git:
sudo adduser \
--system \
--shell /bin/sh \
--gecos 'git version control' \
--group \
--disabled-password \
--home /home/git \
git
Create user for GitLab:
# ubuntu/debian
sudo adduser --disabled-login --gecos 'gitlab system' gitlab
Add your user to the `git` group:
sudo usermod -a -G git gitlab
Generate key:
sudo -H -u gitlab ssh-keygen -q -N '' -t rsa -f /home/gitlab/.ssh/id_rsa
Clone GitLab's fork of the Gitolite source code:
sudo -H -u git git clone -b gl-v304 https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitolite.git /home/git/gitolite
Setup:
cd /home/git
sudo -u git -H mkdir bin
sudo -u git sh -c 'echo -e "PATH=\$PATH:/home/git/bin\nexport PATH" >> /home/git/.profile'
sudo -u git sh -c 'gitolite/install -ln /home/git/bin'
sudo cp /home/gitlab/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /home/git/gitlab.pub
sudo chmod 0444 /home/git/gitlab.pub
sudo -u git -H sh -c "PATH=/home/git/bin:$PATH; gitolite setup -pk /home/git/gitlab.pub"
sudo -u git -H sed -i 's/0077/0007/g' /home/git/.gitolite.rc
Permissions:
sudo chmod -R g+rwX /home/git/repositories/
sudo chown -R git:git /home/git/repositories/
#### CHECK: Logout & login again to apply git group to your user
# clone admin repo to add localhost to known_hosts
# & be sure your user has access to gitolite
sudo -u gitlab -H git clone git@localhost:gitolite-admin.git /tmp/gitolite-admin
# if succeed you can remove it
sudo rm -rf /tmp/gitolite-admin
**IMPORTANT! If you can't clone `gitolite-admin` repository - DO NOT PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION**
Check the [Trouble Shooting Guide](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-public-wiki/wiki/Trouble-Shooting-Guide)
and ensure you have followed all of the above steps carefully.
# 4. Clone GitLab source and install prerequisites
sudo gem install charlock_holmes --version '0.6.8'
sudo pip install pygments
sudo gem install bundler
cd /home/gitlab
# Get gitlab code. Use this for stable setup
sudo -H -u gitlab git clone -b stable https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq.git gitlab
# Skip this for stable setup.
# Master branch (recent changes, less stable)
sudo -H -u gitlab git clone -b master https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq.git gitlab
cd gitlab
# Rename config files
sudo -u gitlab cp config/gitlab.yml.example config/gitlab.yml
#### Select the database you want to use
# SQLite
sudo -u gitlab cp config/database.yml.sqlite config/database.yml
# Mysql
sudo -u gitlab cp config/database.yml.mysql config/database.yml
# PostgreSQL
sudo -u gitlab cp config/database.yml.postgres config/database.yml
# make sure to update username/password in config/database.yml
#### Install gems
# mysql
sudo -u gitlab -H bundle install --without development test sqlite postgres --deployment
# or postgres
sudo -u gitlab -H bundle install --without development test sqlite mysql --deployment
# or sqlite
sudo -u gitlab -H bundle install --without development test mysql postgres --deployment
#### Setup database
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rake gitlab:app:setup RAILS_ENV=production
#### Setup GitLab hooks
sudo cp ./lib/hooks/post-receive /home/git/.gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive
sudo chown git:git /home/git/.gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive
#### Check application status
Checking status:

If you got all YES - congratulations! You can go to the next step.
# 5. Start the web server
Application can be started with next command:
# For test purposes
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rails s -e production
# As daemon
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rails s -e production -d
You can login via web using admin generated with setup:
admin@local.host
5iveL!fe
# 6. Run Resque process (for processing job queue).
# Manually
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rake environment resque:work QUEUE=* RAILS_ENV=production BACKGROUND=yes
# GitLab start script
sudo -u gitlab ./resque.sh
# if you run this as root /home/gitlab/gitlab/tmp/pids/resque_worker.pid will be owned by root
# causing the resque worker not to start via init script on next boot/service restart
## Customizing Resque's Redis connection
If you'd like Resque to connect to a Redis server on a non-standard port or on
a different host, you can configure its connection string in the
**config/resque.yml** file:
production: redis.example.com:6379
**Ok - we have a working application now. **
**But keep going - there are some things that should be done **
# Nginx && Unicorn
## 1. Unicorn
cd /home/gitlab/gitlab
sudo -u gitlab cp config/unicorn.rb.example config/unicorn.rb
sudo -u gitlab bundle exec unicorn_rails -c config/unicorn.rb -E production -D
## 2. Nginx
# Install first
sudo apt-get install nginx
# Add GitLab to nginx sites & change with your host specific settings
sudo wget https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/nginx/gitlab -P /etc/nginx/sites-available/
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gitlab
# Change **YOUR_SERVER_IP** and **YOUR_SERVER_FQDN**
# to the IP address and fully-qualified domain name
# of the host serving GitLab.
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gitlab
# Restart nginx:
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
## 3. Init script
Create init script in /etc/init.d/gitlab:
sudo wget https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/master/init.d/gitlab -P /etc/init.d/
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab
GitLab autostart:
sudo update-rc.d gitlab defaults 21
Now you can start/restart/stop GitLab like:
sudo /etc/init.d/gitlab restart
