How to install GitLab Runner

GitLab's implementation of a continuous integration and continuous deployment platform works off the idea of Runners, which are programs that are installed on other servers and can connect to the GitLab instance to receive jobs to run. These jobs can involve building, testing, and deploying code. In this section, we'll explore how to install GitLab Runner on Ubuntu, CentOS, and manually via binaries.

Ubuntu

To easily install GitLab Runner on Ubuntu, make sure that you have a recent version installed, as GitLab only provides packages for the currently supported versions. Next, open a Terminal session on your Ubuntu box and run the following command:

curl -L https://packages.gitlab.com...

O'Grady

Adam O'Grady hails from the remote Perth, Western Australia, and can usually be found on Twitter at @adamjogrady or in meatspace wrangling with code. His first taste of programming came from building games into graphics calculators at high school, and quickly developed into a passion. A few years later, while doing social media marketing for an ISP, his first big break arrived; building custom applications to monitor and respond to social feeds. After that, he spent a few years working for the government building systems that used satellite and geographic data to spot and predict bushfires, and now you can find him leading a small team of engineering mavens at a local health start-up.
