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 ~
