## Installation

Please see [the installation page on the GitLab website](https://www.gitlab.com/installation/).

### New versions

Since 2011 a minor or major version of GitLab is released on the 22nd of every month. Patch and security releases come out when needed.  New features are detailed on the [blog](https://www.gitlab.com/blog/) and in the [changelog](CHANGELOG). For more information about the release process see the release [documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/tree/master/doc/release). Features that will likely be in the next releases can be found on the [feature request forum](http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general) with the status [started](http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/status/796456) and [completed](http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/status/796457).

### Upgrading

For updating the the Omnibus installation please see the [update documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc/update.md). For manual installations there is an [upgrader script](doc/update/upgrader.md) and there are [upgrade guides](doc/update).

## Run in production mode

The Installation guide contains instructions on how to download an init script and run it automatically on boot. You can also start the init script manually:

    sudo service gitlab start

or by directly calling the script:

     sudo /etc/init.d/gitlab start

Please login with `root` / `5iveL!fe`

## Install a development environment

We recommend setting up your development environment with [the GitLab Development Kit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit).
If you do not use the development kit you might need to copy the example development unicorn configuration file

    cp config/unicorn.rb.example.development config/unicorn.rb

## Run in development mode

Start it with [Foreman](https://github.com/ddollar/foreman)

    bundle exec foreman start -p 3000

or start each component separately:

    bundle exec rails s
    bin/background_jobs start

And surf to [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/) and login with `root` / `5iveL!fe`.

## Run the tests

-   Run all tests:

        bundle exec rake test

-   [RSpec](http://rspec.info/) unit and functional tests.

    All RSpec tests: `bundle exec rake spec`

    Single RSpec file: `bundle exec rspec spec/controllers/commit_controller_spec.rb`

-   [Spinach](https://github.com/codegram/spinach) integration tests.

    All Spinach tests: `bundle exec rake spinach`

    Single Spinach test: `bundle exec spinach features/project/issues/milestones.feature`

## Documentation

All documentation can be found on [doc.gitlab.com/ce/](http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/).
