Any popular project that is written in Rails, like GitLab or Redmine, typically gets tricky to install real quick because of all the third-party dependencies. This is particularly true if the person installing it is not a developer or it is installing it on Windows or OS X. Gitlab is a bit more trickier than usual because it needs ssh configuration, etc. We are always looking for feedback on how to improve the process

"because of all the third-party dependencies." In my experience, nodejs has many third-party modules but npm never felt as clunky as ruby gems. Ever think of rewriting? :)

An offline installer package as an 'all-in-one' option would certainly help us. Even if it's huge. Edit: is that exactly what one of TFA describes as an option?

  We offer those on BitNami for Linux, Windows and OS X: http://bitnami.org/stack/gitlab http://bitnami.org/stack/gitlab (free installers and VMs as well as cloud templates)

    When I go to that page, I only see Linux installers (a .run file). Where are the installers for Mac/Windows?

    Edit: Sorry - I posted too soon. The installers for Windows and OS X are still in the works, but will be available soon.
