Template:Installation/Preparation/CentOS
Install packages
Download and install the latest rpm from http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/repoview/epel-release.html at the time of this article, the latest was 7.2 and it was as root via
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
Activate Redis
CentOS does not enable and start services automatically, so you need to do this manually. As root run:
systemctl enable redis
systemctl start redis
Install the database
If you do not have it installed already, run as root:
Creating a user for diaspora*
As root run:
adduser diaspora
chmod 755 /home/diaspora
su - diaspora
cd ~
