### Installation
You can either follow the "ordinary" Installation guide to install it on a machine or use the Vagrant virtual machine. The Installation guide is recommended to set up a production server. The Vagrant virtual machine is recommended for development since it makes it much easier to set up all the dependencies for integration testing.
#### For production
*[Installation guide for latest stable release (4.2)](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/4-2-stable/doc/install/installation.md)
