==Prerequisites==

*Newly launched CentOS 7 Server
*Reasonable Disk Specifications
*Internet Connection

==Run Updates==

It is good practice to update all of the software packages before we proceed. You can do this by running the following command:

<pre>
yum upgrade -y
yum update -y
</pre>

==Set Server Hostname==

To set the server hostname on CentOS 7 we can use the below commands:

<pre>
hostnamectl set-hostname gitlab.example.com
hostnamectl set-hostname gitlab.example.com --static
</pre>

It is then best practice to reboot the server with the following command:

<pre>
reboot
</pre>

==Install Software Dependencies==

First of all we need to run the following set of commands to install the correct dependencies:

<pre>
sudo yum install curl policycoreutils openssh-server openssh-clients
sudo systemctl enable sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd
sudo yum install postfix
sudo systemctl enable postfix
sudo systemctl start postfix
</pre>

==Setup Repository==

To setup the Gitlab Repository run the following command:

<pre>
curl -sS https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash
</pre>

==Install Package==

To install the package run the following command:

<pre>
sudo yum install gitlab-ce
</pre>

==Configure Gitlab==

To run the Gitlab Configuration run the following command:

<pre>
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
</pre>

==Browse to Site and Login For First Time==

On your first visit, you'll be redirected to a password reset screen to provide the password for the initial administrator account. Enter your desired password and you'll be redirected back to the login screen.

The default account's username is '''root'''. Provide the password you created earlier and login. After login you can change the username if you wish.
