## 4. System Users
## 4. Node
Since GitLab 8.17, GitLab requires the use of node >= v4.3.0 to compile
javascript assets and yarn >= v0.17.0 to manage javascript dependencies. In
many distros the versions provided by the official package repositories are
out of date, so we'll need to install through the following commands:
# install node v7.x
curl --location https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
# install yarn
curl --location https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash -
Visit the official websites for [node](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/) and [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/) if you have any trouble with this step.

Create a `git` user for GitLab:
sudo adduser --disabled-login --gecos 'GitLab' git
