### Required software install snippets
yum install python-setuptools
git clone https://github.com/Itxaka/python-gitlab.git
cd python-gitlab
git checkout 4d778d780161869550d8e514cdc50df2398f844e
If you use package management then it will likely be best for you to install git via package management for your OS. You can find the source to git at the [git-core project][5]. For instructions on other platforms see the [Getting Started - Installing Git section of the git book][6].
yum install perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker zlib zlib-devel openssh libcurl libcurl-devel expat expat-devel gettext gettext-devel
cd /usr/local/src/
git clone https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
cd git-core/
git tag
git checkout v1.8.4
make configure
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install
Your git should now be located in `/usr/local/bin/git`. You should edit `/etc/profile` and place `/usr/local/bin` at the beginning of your `$PATH`.
wget https://raw.github.com/felipec/git/fc/master/git-remote-bzr.py -O ~/bin/git-remote-bzr
