## Installation

Install the Gitlab development in a virtual machine with the [Gitlab Vagrant virtual machine](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-vagrant-vm). Installing it in a virtual machine makes it much easier to set up all the dependencies for integration testing.

## Running tests

For more information on running the tests please read the [development tips](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/development.md)
