getlab 5.2 on RHEL/Centos 6.4 with SCL / Software Collection outdated

Redhat release software collection January this year. It’s kind of cool as it lets you install newer versions of ruby perl python etc. Gitlab requires version ruby193 which is very easy to install with scl. This install guide is based on the original gitlab
install guide which can be found here “https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes” and shows you howto make gitlab work with SCL instead of RVM.

红帽今年一月份发布了ＳＣＬ，它能安装更新版本的ruby,perl和python等等。gitlab,foreman需要的ruby193版本能够轻易的用scl安装.

Step 1. Add the SCL repo to your Rhel/Centos installation

第一步：在Rhel/Centos上添加ＳＣＬ的软件仓库。

Make sure you are also subscribed to the rhel6-server optional channel. Then install the Development tools

然后安装Development tools

Step 2. As rhel still ships with git version 1.7.1-3.el6_4.1 we also need to add the rpm forge package

第二步：因为红帽还附带git version 1.7.1-3.el6_4.1，所以我们需要添加rpmforge软件仓库。

Enable the rpmforge extras

Step 3. Gitlab also needs redis which is available on epel.

第三步：gitlab也需要redis数据库，在epel上有可用的源。

Step 4. Lets install ruby193 and git httpd mysql-server and start all the servies

第四步：安装ruby193 and git httpd mysql-server然后开启服务。

Step 5. Add the user git and set the git globals

第五步：添加git用户，并设置全局变量。

Step 6. su to the git user to clone the git repos

第六步：切换到git帐户，下载git仓库。

Step 7. Extend your .bashrc to have the following content which will load our scl environment for us when we login

第七步：在 .bashrc 添加如下内容，以确保我们登陆的时候scl环境加载好了。

Step 8. Make sure the paths are right. You can test this by executing env.

第八步：确保路径是对的。你可以执行env测试一下。
