Download and install the latest epel release. As root run:

yum install epel-release

Then as root run:

yum install tar make automake gcc gcc-c++ git net-tools libcurl-devel libxml2-devel libffi-devel libxslt-devel wget redis ImageMagick nodejs

CentOS does not enable and start services automatically, so you need to do this manually. As root run:

systemctl enable redis
systemctl start redis

If you do not have it installed already,

As root run:

adduser diaspora
chmod 755 /home/diaspora
su - diaspora
cd ~

-     The MySQL version shipped with CentOS 6 is very old. We recommend to install the most recent stable version (including the <tt>mysql-devel</tt> package) following the [https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-yum-repo-quick-guide/en/ MySQL yum repo quick guide]. If you prefer to stick to the old version, install required packages as root and activate the server:
+     CentOS 6 ships with an unsupported MySQL version. Thus, we need to include the [https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/yum/ MySQL yum repo] to get the latest stable MySQL version. To do so, run as root:
 {{#tag:syntaxhighlight|
-yum install mysql-devel mysql-server
+rpm -Uvh https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el6-8.noarch.rpm
+|lang=bash}}
+'''Careful''': This enables additional repositories. If you wish, you may disable these repositories to avoid undesired packages and versions to be pulled in. You can do this by setting <code>enabled=0</code> for all repos in the files <tt>/etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-community*.repo</tt>.
+Install required packages as root and activate the server:
+{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|
+yum --enablerepo=mysql57-community install mysql-devel mysql-server
 chkconfig --level 3 mysqld on
 service mysqld start
